Biographies and Autobiographies About Authors, S/D

xp enjoyed that Alice Spawls piece - seems like a very difficult excercise, writing a Brontë bio disguised as something about Brontë bios and bios in general _without_ ending up like all the other Brontë bios responding to other Brontë bios. Some beautiful passages too! Good work!

im reading and loving vol 1 Oneill: Son and Playwright by louis sheaffer

on to the ruth franklin shirley jackson bio, v good also

the oneill bio i mentioned last post (vol 1&2) is prob amongst the top 10 books across any genre that ive ever read fwiw

two of my favorites are Nabokov's Speak, Memory and Primo Levi's The Periodic Table. i like memoirs that don't try to connect the dots.
