Bernard Shaw: An Unauthorized Biography Based on First Hand Information
Although I got bored of some longer paragraphs at some points in the book, it was still a very interesting read. What made G. B. S. the person he was as was witnessed by Frank Harris? His childhood, surrounding environment, friends. What made him as a writer? His social, political, and philosophical beliefs. Among other things.
I have not read any biographies before, but what stood out from my point of view as compared to the books I have read before were the actual letter conversations between F. H. and G. B. S. I do not know if writers nowadays write such long letters to each other anymore. These kinds of letter conversations are, I think, unique to the 19th century.
Overall - I liked the way this Playwright was painted in the book.
+ there were some thoughts that made me stop for a while and think how much I believe them or not.
