Hawthorne: A Life by Brenda Wineapple
"His first novel, "Fanshawe," bombed. He plied his hand at children's books, many of which are classics today...
Self-immersion was his gift. After all, the country Hawthorne resided in was the past - his past - and that is where he is buried. With this superb biography, Brenda Wineapple fearlessly goes back there, and exhumes him from it."
