Excellent biography of an author I'm currently obsessed with. Oppenheimer draws a sympathetic picture of Jackson's life through excerpts from her letters and journals and through interviews with her friends and family. In fact, I wish she had relied less on those interviews, since memory can be so faulty and biased sometimes, but I can't imagine how hard it must be to piece together someone's life through their work and glimpses of themselves left behind. Still, an excellent book supplying plenty of insight into this wonderful writer's life.
