I Am Dynamite!: A Life of Nietzsche by Sue Prideaux

4.0

Really interesting & well-written - definitely brief in areas but what can you expect from a 400 page biography of Nietzsche?! Nicely balanced between being an ‘intellectual’ biography (i.e explaining his philosophies) and a historical account. Would have liked a little more focus on Elisabeth’s control of his estate during his latter ‘mad’ years and posthumously, but perhaps that is another book entirely…
