Book Synopsis
Set within a few square blocks along the Thames, in Chelsea, Neighboring Lives is a glorious re-creation, based on historical fact, of the private and working lives of many of the nineteenth century's greatest writers and artists.

Trade Review
Witty, erudite, thoroughly captivating. . . . Tom Disch and Charles Naylor have given vidid fictional life to a wide rang of mid-century characters.
—Newsweek
This book is a fine tribute to that most creative region of London, and it is an admirable rendering of its most creative time.
—Anthony Burgess, New York Times
Witty and graceful, disclosing the eccentric essence of each colleague and rival (and so of the whole era) in wry details.
—New Yorker
