Personal and literary biography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Hingley does a good job of approaching Pasternak, particularly given that Pasternak was so chary of providing evidence of his personal life. The biography was well written, and certainly motivated me to keep reading. I knew a fair amount about Akhmatova and Tsvetayeva going in to reading this book and it felt like it filled in missing pieces of the same story. For me, the only unfortunate aspect was the nagging feeling that Hingley was somehow taking sides in the veracity of the various women in Pasternak's life. It added a weird gossipy kind of tone to some of the issues that were discussed. Still a commendable effort, and recommended if you are looking for a decent Pasternak biography.
