Although he tried to escape its legacy, Jackson is often remembered only as the author of this thinly veiled autobiography. In Farther \u0026amp; Wilder, the award-winning biographer of Richard Yates and John Cheever goes deeper, exploring Jacksons life-from growing up in the scandal-plagued village of Newark, New York, to a career in Hollywood and friendships with everyone from Judy Garland and Billy Wilder to Thomas Mann and Mary McCarthy. This is the fascinating biography of a writer whose life and work encapsulated what it meant to be an addict and a closeted homosexual in mid-century America, and who was far ahead of his time in bringing these forbidden subjects into the popular discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67634719293728,"sku":"USED0307475522","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61o00wLr_AL_107520fe-d514-4345-b9a8-566edf79d0f7.jpg?v=1791109560","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/farther-and-wilder-the-lost-weekends-and-literary-dreams-of-charles-jackson-0307475522-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
