Reseña del libro "Canceled Lives: My Father, my Scandal, and me (en Inglés)"

A canceled bestselling author's highly personal account of his public scandal--a scandal that was reported on the front page of the New York Times and throughout the world. Blake Bailey grew up in the shadow of his father, Burck, an eminent litigator--president of the Oklahoma Bar Association and widely considered a sort of real-life Atticus Finch: "His conduct, honesty, integrity, and courtesy best exemplify and represent the highest standards of the legal profession," his colleagues commended him in a 1989 award citation. As for Blake, he was a late bloomer who finally came into his own as a writer. His fourth literary biography, Philip Roth, was published on April 6, 2021, and hailed as "a narrative masterwork" by Cynthia Ozick on the front page of the New York Times Book Review. The 900-page book debuted at #12 on the Times Nonfiction Bestseller list. But success came at a terrible price: because of revelations in Bailey's biography, many were calling for Roth and his work to be "canceled," while others thought Bailey had been overly sympathetic and even "complicitous" with his subject's worst failings. Soon rumors exploded on the internet about Bailey's own private life, and within days he himself was roundly canceled. Canceled Lives is the story of a father and son who had much in common--for better and for worse--and who supported each other in the midst of terrible family strife, including the drug addiction and suicide of Blake's older brother, Scott. Having achieved a success in life that Blake, at least, never expected, both father and son were ravaged by the ordeal of Blake's spectacular public humiliation.
