How does a writer approach a novel about a real person?
In this new collection of interviews, authors such as Emma Donoghue, David Ebershoff, David Lodge, Colum McCann, Colm Tóibín, and Olga Tokarczuk sit down with literary scholars to discuss the relationship of history, truth, and fiction. Taken together, these conversations clarify how the biographical novel encourages cross-cultural dialogue, promotes new ways of thinking about history, politics, and social justice, and allows us to journey into the interior world of influential and remarkable people.
Michael Lackey is Distinguished McKnight University Professor of English at the University of Minnesota, Morris, USA. He is the author or editor of eight books, including African American Atheists and Political Liberation: A Study of the Socio-Cultural Dynamics of Faith, which was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year in 2008, and Truthful Fictions: Conversations with American Biographical Novelists (Bloomsbury, 2014).
