Gail Reitano’s Reviews > Creating Anna Karenina: Tolstoy and the Birth of Literature's Most Enigmatic Heroine > Status Update

This is the ultimate biography (of a writer) for writers. I really like how Tolstoy's process is similar to that of most writers I know -- life is lived while writing, and that life informs the work. It's beautifully written, with clean, crisp prose.
