[Linda Gaines · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked some of the stories of writers' lives a lot: especially W.S> Merwin's on his father's church and what Tennessee Williams told of his father. I didn't notice that the artist John Sokol had drawn tiny script into the portraits of each of the authors. Only 4 of the 23 are women as befits times in the early 80s.
