Roger Sessions: How a "Difficult" Composer Got That Way
Prausnitz, Frederik (Director of Conducting Program the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Director of Conducting Program the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Johns Hopkins University)

As the story is told, often in the composer's own words, the complex picture emerges of a remarkable man who, gradually learned, not very willingly, to accept his unexpected lot.
