RaveThe Toronto StarWhen Tom Stoppard asked Hermione Lee, the distinguished Oxford literary critic, to write his biography, he gave her access to a wealth of materials and permission to quote from them; he also put her in touch with his collaborators, colleagues, friends, lovers and family.

A perfect meeting of the artist and Lee’s inestimable diligence.
