Product Description
The Economist
"[Paul Mariani] has made more sense of Crane's mess of a life than any previous biographer...[He] unpicks his threads with a scholar's attention to detail and the passion of a poet."
Book Description
The Broken Tower reads with all the drama of a psychological novel and the inexorable force of a Greek tragedy. Hart Crane made a meteoric rise in the late 1920s and then as suddenly burnt out, killing himself at the age of thirty-two, and thus turned his life and poetry into the stuff of myth. A mid-westerner, Crane came to New York to play a central part in the contemporary avant-garde literary world and also became part of the New York gay scene. This, the first biography of Crane to appear in thirty years, includes major new discoveries about his life. The author probes Crane's inner demons, promiscuous sexual life, alcoholism and self-destructive behaviour to give us a profound portrait of a complex, haunted and brilliant life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
