A powerfully moving (though fictionalized) portrait of Chazon Ish by his onetime disciple, the Yiddish poet and novelist Chaim Grade, is to be found in Grade's epic novel "Tsemakh Atlas: Di Yeshive" (New York & Los Angeles: Yiddish Natzyonaln Arbeiter Farband, 1967-1968); translated in English as "The Yeshiva" (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1976-1977). Chazon Ish appears there as "Rav Yeshayahu Kossover."
A number of multi volume biographies have been published about the Chazon Ish, including "Pe'er Hador", and the more recent "Maaseh Ish".
An 1000-page academic biography of the Chazon Ish by Professor Benny Brown was published by Magnes Press in 2011.
