About the Author:

Louis Sheaffer (1912-1997), a former reporter and press agent, was awarded three Guggenheim fellowships and a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities for his work on O'Neill.

Review:

Should take its place in every library of those seriously interested in American theater, literature, and consciousness. (The New York Times)

A model of what a biography should be... Ought to prove spellbinding for O'Neill buffs and theater addicts, and scarcely less so for readers who enjoy biographies. (Publishers Weekly)

A magnificent study. (Review Of Higher Education)

Sheaffer's Pulitzer Prize-winning study of Eugene O'Neill is not only the foremost portrait of the artist but also one of the most stunning literary biographies, period. (Library Journal)
