In recent years, the biographical novel has moved from the margins to become a dominant
literary form. Its emerging popularity and cachet have been matched by an ongoing
discussion among writers and critics about what this style represents. Why did this genre
come into being mainly in the 20th century? Is it ethical to invent stories about an actual
historical figure? What is biofiction uniquely capable of signifying, and why are so many
prominent writers increasingly drawn to the genre?
Biographical Fiction: A Reader is the first anthology of its kind. It features reflections from
writers such as William Styron, Julia Alvarez, Colm Toibin, and David Ebershoff, a case
study of the fiction inspired by the sensationalized figure of Eliza Lynch, revealing interview’s
with authors such as Russell Banks and Joyce Carol Oates, and essays from leading critics
including Georg Lukács, Jay Parini, and Martin Middeke. The result is an accessible and
multifaceted overview of the nature, history’ and form of biographical fiction. |
