Lillian Hellman: The Image, the Woman

"William Wright has written a riveting, massively researched biography…which is bound to be controversial, because Wright is determined to be fair. He separates the facts from the fictions Hellman created about herself, and the result is a balanced portrait of an implacable woman with a huge imagination and talent and rage, who seemed over-prepared to fight for everything and everybody she cared about. William Wright has done an extraordinary job."
—Patricia Bosworth, author of Diane Arbus
