Listening for Madeleine: A Portrait of Madeleine L'Engle in Many Voices
by Leonard S. Marcus
Reviews and more on my blog: Entering the Enchanted Castle
This was an interesting but ultimately unsatisfying approach to understanding a complex woman. Many of the writers spoke little about L'Engle or were only very tangentially involved with her. Large chunks of important experiences/allegations were gingerly glanced at, while trivialities and repetitive padding got plenty of space. I hope she will get a proper biography at some point, by a writer who can be both sympathetic and objective, and can assemble confusing and conflicting material in a coherent way.
