On Edgar

Here is a review by R.: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1243550335

Over a few hours from five at night till half past one in the morning,  I read Edgar Allan Poe,  the fever called living. It chronicles his chaotic life and good fortune.  His deep love of his wife Virginia clemm to his falling apart at her demise. A heartrending journey, a climb out of his boozy destruction to sobriety and engagement.  And the weird circumstances of his bizarre death. As well the odd events that occurred after his death, and reunion of the family post mortem. All in all any Poe fan should read this book.
