For my money, the finest biographer alive is Robert Caro. Esquire‘s Chris Jones takes a look at the guy who’s spent nearly 40 years chronicling the life of one man.
As an aside to those of you who think my sentences are too long, check this out:
“Caro’s sentences are long, fluid, intricate. (A single sentence in The Passage of Power contains a parenthetical, an em dash, a colon, a comma, another two commas, a semicolon, two more commas, and a period.)”
My kind of writer.
