For fans of the soon-to-be-released film about Charles Dickens
starring Ralph Fiennes, a brilliantly insightful biography from
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley
With delectable wit and characteristic sensitivity, Jane Smiley
presents a fresh, illuminating take on the life of Charles Dickens.
Smiley finds a kindred spirit in the author of such classics as
"Great Expectations" and "A Christmas Carol," who was not only a
prolific writer but also one of the first modern "celebrities." She
offers interpretations of many of Dickens's major works, exploring
his narrative techniques and his innovative voice and themes. A
perceptive profile of the great master and a fascinating meditation
on the writing life, this biography is perfect for fans of "The
Invisible Woman, " the Charles Dickens biopic starring Ralph
Fiennes, Felicity Jones, and Kristin Scott Thomas, which hits
theaters in February 2014.
