Jeffrey Meyers presents Resurrections: Authors, Heroes–and a Spy

October 24, 2018 @ 7:30 pm

Jeffrey Meyers presents Resurrections: Authors, Heroes–and a Spy, portraits of writers and artists including Ian Watt, Paul Theroux, James Salter, and Anthony Blunt.

 Intellectually stimulating . . . a portrait of the artist in portraits of other artists.”–Kirkus Reviews

In this new book, the prolific biographer Meyers brings to life a set of extraordinary writers, painters, and literary adventurers who turned their lives into art. Meyers knew nine of these figures, in some cases intimately, while five others he admires and regrets never meeting. As he writes in the preface, “The chapters in this book represent in miniature my career as a life-writer. My biographies have always been driven by fascination with the source of artistic creativity, with people who wrote or painted and with the worlds they inhabited.”
