This was not high on my list but a free copy from Goodreads changed that. While Wallace's public personality and performance were well-detailed, this bio suffers from his lifelong penchant for avoiding talking about his feelings in his personal life. Even so, his long career in TV and radio are unique and his interviewing technique has been emulated widely. Starting out with a preconceived idea of what the interviewee will say is certainly not objective, but most journalism falls into that category, if not to that extreme. If Wallace seemed to be a 60 Minutes bully, the author shows that behind the bully, as always, is an insecure human being searching for approval.
