Born in 1915 to barely literate Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, Alfred Kazin rose from near poverty to become a dominant figure in 20th-century literary criticism and one of America's last great men of letters. Biographer Richard Cook provides a portrait of Kazin in his public roles and his frequently unhappy private life.
