One of the most critically acclaimed biographers working today,
Jeffrey Meyers offers in Privileged Moments a window into the work
of both creative writers and their biographers. Describing these
portraits -- of Allen Ginsberg, James Dickey, Ed Dorn, Arthur
Miller, Iris Murdoch, V. S. Naipaul, Francis King, and J. F. Powers
-- Meyers writes, "I wanted to learn everything about their lives,
what they looked like, how they lived, what they said. I was most
curious about the creative process, the relation between authors'
lives and their art, the public image and the real self".
Meyers himself becomes the ninth writer encountered in
Privileged Moments, displaying the master biographer's sharp eye
for telling details. In lively and compelling style, he offers us
insights into the writers' lives: their reactions to criticism; how
they advanced their careers and achieved fame; how feuds and
quarrels started and ended; their struggles with money, illness,
marriages, and love affairs.
