[@LizLondonWWA]

Blake Bailey is an excellent writer. So grateful for his contribution to the literary world.

[@robinsinpost]

Well, he has some serious problems now.

[@carolm3417]

Loved the book, reading it again now.

Whew- Reading these comments, I am relieved I can fully enjoy the works of artists who are not, or were not, untarnished beings.

Have you red “Red Comet” about the life of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark ? It is excellent.

[@zharapatterson]

@@joniheisenberg6691 Yes, I heard about it thank you very much. I want to read that one as well.

[@luckydougfergus1877]

Please do write your biography of Toni Morrison! I loved her brother, Jim and his band the Doors!

Portnoy's Complaint remains a fantastic novel.

[@richardwestwood8212]

He said that when he wrote his first book his mother told him that he had delusional dreams of greatness, lol 😆

[@emerybayblues]

Well this has come to a grinding halt.

[@journeymansmitty8283]

Well this is different🤔

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

Never heard of this man/author interesting...🤔🧐🤨

There's a free movie here that I just watched from one of his books is called Ghost Writer and actress Claire Bloom is in it with Sam Wanamaker ... it might seem a little slow and a few parts but it's actually got a very good premise and is very interesting ... because you do realize that is partly autobiographical . Claire blooms acting and it is very good and she's the one that was married to him briefly in real life

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes look at some of the film clips here of the movie portnoy's complaint for rent the movie and then you'll understand

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

@@gardensofthegods Ah?! Okay thank you kindly, I’ll make a mental note of this for now. I appreciate it, @GardenofTheGods

So who gave their children to Hunter? Are they still breathing and just mutilated a bit, or did you bring him a few from the border daycare? We're still looking for the kids on the laptop, you should have asked where he left them, prove they still live. You aid him. ewwwww.

Tenderly towards Philip Roth. Spoken like a true author trying to sell a book. Gheez.

[@sarahgreenberg5000]

If you had the read the book, you would understand and agree with his comment. If you haven't, you still could avoid the rather nasty charge of " spoken like a true author trying to sell a book." As you could see from the bio's reviews, he's not going to have to "try."

[@miafarrago4941]

Extremely disappointed that Jeff Glor is gushing over the work of a misogynist, who conveniently shrugs off Roth's misogyny. What a cozy world.

[@autofocus4556]

Boo hoo welcome to the real world.
