Daniel’s Reviews > Baldwin: A Love Story > Status Update

It's impossible to laugh at the FBI's bumbling incompetent attempts to track Baldwin and his friends without surfacing an accompanying horror at the ease with which anyone can be tracked today.

well, that was a lot of drama

dude is kinda overly excited about the possibility Baldwin and Brando slept together

it's comforting to me to see all the ways Baldwin really did not have his shit together, and still he managed to be absolutely amazing

good bit about Another Country in that last chunk. much more interesting than travel details. please give me a 700 page book of Baldwin explaining his intent and thinking re his own novels.

2 problems with this book:
a.) length, both overall and the way it's structured
b.) it's not Nolan's Ross Macdonald bio, which I've been dying to read since I reread The Underground Man. Not going to start a second big bio while I've got this one in progress though. (Tho honestly this would go on hold if I did.)
