C. V. Wooster writes about the lives behind the ideas that quietly govern our world. With a biographer’s respect for evidence and a novelist’s feel for character, Wooster is drawn to figures whose private struggles produced public consequences.
Searching for Bowlby grew out of a fascination with a deceptively simple question: why is it so hard for us to believe that children need love? Tracing the answer led Wooster through archives, letters, and the lingering controversies that surrounded John Bowlby in his lifetime — and to a portrait of a man whose patience and conviction reshaped psychology.
Wooster’s work spans biography and fiction, united by a recurring preoccupation with memory, attachment, and the bonds that make us who we are.
