Yes, there is an excellent Goedel biography:
'Reflections on Kurt Goedel' by Hao Wang
(Unfortunately, I do not remember the publisher and year of publishing - I
think it is 1986/1987)
Among many other things, this book includes a detailed year-by-year
description of Goedel's life.

Best wishes,

Mark.

P.S. 14. of January is MY birthday - but I don't think that has any relevance.
