The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 12.06.05 | 12:10 AM ET
Sunday’s San Francisco Chronicle featured a review of “Myself and the Other Fellow,” a new biography of the man who wrote “Treasure Island.” 
Critic Diane Scharper writes of Stevenson: “[H]is work received mixed reviews after he died. The gothic tales lacked the psychological twists popular in the 20th century, and his adventure stories were too difficult for children but didn’t contain enough sex for adults. Although he took the personal essay to new heights with a combination of craftsmanship and directness, and practically invented modern travel writing, his literary essays are relatively unknown today.”
