New York. 1999. March 1999. Scribner. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket With A Few Small Pieces Missing From The Top Back. 0684812177. Introduction by Sue Grafton. 496 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell. Signed by the Author. keywords: Biography America Mystery. FROM THE PUBLISHER-When he died in 1983, Ross Macdonald was the best-known and most highly regarded crime-fiction writer in America. Now, in the first full-length biography of this extraordinary and influential writer, a much fuller picture emerges of a man to whom hiding things came as second nature. While it was no secret that Ross Macdonald was the pseudonym of Kenneth Millar-a Santa Barbara man married to another good mystery writer, Margaret Millar-his official biography was spare. Drawing on unrestricted access to the Kenneth and Margaret Millar Archives, on more than forty years of correspondence, and on hundreds of interviews with those who knew Millar well, author Tom Nolan has done a masterful job of filling in the blanks between the psychologically complex novels and the author's life-both secret and overt. We come to a sympathetic understanding of the Millars' long, and sometimes rancorous, marriage and of their life in Santa Barbara, California, with their only daughter, Linda, whose legal and emotional traumas lie at the very heart of the story. But we also follow the trajectory of a literary career that began in the pages of Manhunt and ended with the great respect of fellow writers. inventory #35711.
