P. Lovecraft by science fiction writer L. Sprague de Camp , first published by Doubleday publisher Doubleday . The work, a warts and all examination of the famous horror and science fiction writer, was the first major independent biography of Lovecraft. De Camp s approach has been called frank and judicious by some, unflattering and unbalanced by others. For instance, de Camp criticised Lovecraft s resolutely non commercial attitude to his writing, whereas Lovecraft deliberately maintained his stance that his writing was for his own amusement only. The subsequent paperback edition 1976 from Ballantine Books was an abridgement, for which the author deleted a portion of the text, the notes, bibliography and index. De Camp was reportedly unhappy about having to remove the end matter, although the manner in which he had footnoted his references was unclear and confusing to scholars. However, he did think some of the criticism of his book as expressed in reviews of the hardcover had some merit, and altered the text accordingly in the paperback edition to take account of these criticisms, making the paperback edition a more balanced account. De Camp s biography has since been entirely supplanted as the definitive Lovecraft biography by S. T. Joshi s definitive ... links http www.qusoor.com Essays Camp.htm Lovecraft A Biography by L.

About Tibetan spiritual biographies the Mesopotamian mythological deity Namtar god Tibetan Buddhism A namtar Standard Tibetan Tibetan namthar , Wylie rNam.thar is a spiritual biography or hagiography in Tibetan Buddhism . Namtar literally means complete liberation , since the texts tell the stories of yogis or Indo Tibetan Mahasiddha who attained complete enlightenment. Namtars do not focus on a literal chronology of events, but rather function as a kind of learning example that hits the high points of the sprititual life of a yogi. In her book, Women of Wisdom , Tsultrim Allione collected translations of the namtar of six Tibetan Buddhist yogini Namgsa Obum, Machig Lapdron , Jomo Memo, Machig Ongjo, Drenchen Rema and A Yu Khadro. According to Allione blockquote The sacred biography is called rNam.thar in Tibetan, which literally means complete liberation. The rNam.thar are specially geared to provide records for those on a spiritual quest, in much the same way that someone about to climb a high mountain would seek out the chronicles of those who had made the climb before. The sacred biographer is primarily concerned with providing information which will be helpful and inspirational for someone following in the footsteps of the spiritual adept or saint. Establishing a mythical ideal and the communication of the sacred teachings takes precedence over providing a narrative portrait or likeness of the subject as a personality. The personality is stressed only in so far as it relates to the spiritual process of the individual. ref cite book last Allione first Tsultrim title Women of Wisdom publisher Arkana location London date 1986 isbn 1 85063 044 5 page 56 ref blockquote References Reflist Buddhism topics Category Tibetan culture Category Tibetan Buddhist texts Category Vajrayana Tibet stub ... more details
Backbeat Earl Palmer s Story is the biography of pioneer rock and roll drummer Earl Palmer . The book is by music journalist Tony Scherman with a foreword by Wynton Marsalis . More than half the text is directly quoted from Palmer, making the book as much an autobiography as it is a biography. The story begins with Palmer as a four year old vaudeville tap dancing tap dancer and continues with the story of New Orleans music and the emergence of a strong rock and roll drumming style featuring the beat music back beat . After his triumphs in the city, Palmer moved to Los Angeles , where he became one of the top session musician s and arrangers of the 1950s through the 1970s, playing on hundreds of hits, from La Bamba song La Bamba to Percy Faith and Frank Sinatra . The sections quoting Palmer are colorful, frank, and direct, giving the full flavor of his life as a musician. For example, speaking of playing on Little Richard s records Richard s music was exciting as a sumbitch. I m not talking about the quality of it. It wasn t quality music. It wasn t no chords. It was just blues. Slippin and Slidin sounded like Good Golly Miss Molly and they both sounded like Lucille . It was exciting because he was exciting.
