RaveThe Arts DeskLee\'s tome immediately announces itself as the life of Tom Stoppard, and one trawl through it really isn\'t sufficient to absorb fully all the information and exegesis contained therein ... You want romance or the whiff of scandal? Lee doesn\'t disappoint ... Lee tracks with remarkable ease both the life and the art of a man resistant to undue examination who has submitted here to one of the fullest biographical excavations of recent times. And if you sometimes need to put the book to one side simply to absorb the density of material, you return to it as you might to a fresh Stoppard opening with unbridled avidity[.]
