...copies. Director Robert Altman (Nashville) will film the book next year. To date, Doctorow is best known as the author of The Book of Daniel, an extraordinary succès d'estime that narrowly missed the National Book Award for 1971. Despite parallels to the Rosenberg atom-spy case, the novel has an anguished life all its own. Many of its scenes were set in the Bronx neighborhood where Doctorow grew up. Part of Ragtime also has resonances from the Doctorow past, principally from the New York City suburb of New Rochelle, where the author now lives with...

(That dubious privilege would be reserved for weaker artists in the '60s, who wanted to attach themselves to Greenberg's by then mythical aura as a trend spotter.) In any case, Wolfe...
...think it is an accident that we are both married, with kids," says Robert, who wed at 20. Both brothers share the household duties. Ann Meeropol teaches English to immigrants; Elli has written a yet-to-be-published article about Ethel Rosenberg for Ms. magazine, making the ironic observation that prison liberated her from housework and allowed her to write...
