The Sunday Read: ‘The Ghost Writer’
The Daily
The Life of Ralph Bailey
Ralph knew what kind of biography he wanted, and after fighting other collaborators for years, he smothered bailey with attention. He played easy to get, hoping to get something in return, his version of the truth. For the last six years of his life, he answered all questions, often with multipage letters,. constantly called bailey and handed over documents that his literary executors may never permit anybody else to see.
