Telegraph Entertainment The house guest from hell:
"This is a story with everything – beautiful poetry, mental instability, prostitutes, 'violent diarrhoea', 'especially violent diarrhoea' (page 371), and the French Revolution. Sisman persuasively outlines the reasons why these two great writers were attracted to each other, how they inspired each other, and why they fell out. Read it not just because it is a colourful tale, but because of what it reveals about the neuroses underpinning the creative impulse"
