Brian Boyd is best-known for his Nabokov books (the latest one is Stalking Nabokov; see the Columbia University Press publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk), but it's exciting to hear him report: "I'm writing a biography of philosopher Karl Popper."
I very much enjoyed Malachi Haim Hacohen's Karl Popper: The Formative Years (1902-1945), and Popper's own autobiographical writings, but I certainly think Boyd can help complete the picture and very much look forward to this.
(Popper's Conjectures and Refutations ranks among the ten most influential reads of my rather well-read life, and while I'm generally unimpressed by meeting or seeing famous folk, having the opportunity to hear him lecture live was among the handful of my most memorable famous-people-encounters.)
