pp. 276, book in vg condition, binding clean and tight, dustjacket slightly rubbed. “As a distinguished biographer (of Philip Larkin and John Keats, among others), Andrew Motion has been notably successful in pinning down the often elusive details of Wainewright’s life. As a first-rate poet (he succeeded Ted Hughes as Britain’s Poet Laureate), he shows himself equally skilled in the imaginative investigation of Wainewrighte’s bizarre psyche. The result is a richly memorable exploration of the darker side of human nature, of the roots of crime, of the nature of biography itself.”
