Heymann's biography of Pound was reviewed by Hugh Kenner in a review entitled, if I recall correctly, "The Poet and the Pirate," in which he documents Heymann's use of other sources, again if I recall correctly, often unacknowledged. Mr. Heymann has gone on to write other commercial biographies; I believe that his life of Jacqueline Onassis was recalled from book stores by the publisher in reponse to concerns by her legal counsel.
