Writers Between the Covers: The Scandalous Romantic Lives of Legendary Literary Casanovas, Coquettes, and Cads

What happened off the page was often a lot spicier than what was written on it...
Â
Why did Norman Mailer stab his second wife at a party?Â Who was Edith Whartonâ€™s secret transatlantic lover? What motivated AnaÃ¯s Nin to become a bigamist?
Â
Writers Between the Covers rips the sheets off these and other real-life love stories of the literatiâ€”some with fairy tale endings and others that resulted in break-ups, breakdowns, and brawls. Among the writers laid bare are Agatha Christie, who sparked the largest-ever manhunt in England as her marriage fell apart; Arthur Miller, whose jaw-dropping pairing with Marilyn Monroe proved that opposites attract, at least initially; and T.S. Eliot, who slept in a deckchair on his disastrous honeymoon.
Â
From the best break-up letters to the stormiest love triangles to the boldest cougars and cradle-robbers, this fun and accessible volumeâ€”packed with lists, quizzes and in-depth exposÃ©sâ€”reveals literary historyâ€™s most titillating loves, lusts, and longings.
