(3) YA These well-written, carefully researched biographies aren't mired in adulation. Meltzer details Steinbeck's self-doubt, messy relationships, and alcoholic bouts as he traces the novelist's rise from college dropout to Nobel Laureate. Stone notes some of the inaccuracies in other Fitzgerald biographies as she follows the jazz singer (and would-be dancer!) from the streets of Harlem to concert halls worldwide. Bib., ind. Review covers these titles: Up Close: Ella Fitzgerald and Up Close: John Steinbeck.
