multivolume

Eighty-nine-year-old Caro has devoted most of his writing life to just two projects: “The Power Broker,” his magisterial 1974 biography of New York urban planner Robert Moses, and an epic multivolume biography of Lyndon Baines Johnson.

Rodriguez and Hammack are ideally situated to undertake this multivolume work.

The comics artist Ed Piskor, who was best known for his multivolume “Hip Hop Family Tree,” died last week after posting a lengthy note to social media about an accusation of sexual misconduct that led a gallery in Pittsburgh to indefinitely postpone an exhibition of his work.

Lucas Ferrara, an adjunct professor at New York Law School and co-author of the multivolume book “Landlord and Tenant Practice in New York,” said a potential tenant might be able to fight the meat ban if, for example, they showed they had a medical condition that required some sort of “reasonable accommodation” on the landlord’s part.

As this book moves into its final third, you sense the author echolocating between two other major biographies, Robert Caro’s multivolume life of Lyndon Johnson and Beverly Gage’s powerful recent biography of J. Edgar Hoover, the longtime F.B.I. director.
