Telling Lives: The Biographer's Art

Seven of the most honored biographers of our time-Pulizer Prize winners Justin Kaplan and Barbara Tuchman, National Book Award recipient Theodore Rosengarten, and esteemed literary critics Leon Edel, Dorris Kearns, Geoffrey Wolff, and Alfred Kazin-examine the joys, limitations, and challenges of defining a life. For the very first time, biographers interpret the art of biography.Review"So compact are the pieces . . . so crammed with ideas and insights and nuances, that each could very well be expanded to several times its length."-Joyce Carol Oates"Essays with more insights than a cookie has crumbs. . . . Yet the book is only 151 pages long. And it still manages to cover every aspect of the art."-New York Times
