1 y separately published work icon Conversations with Biographical Novelists : Truthful Fictions across the Globe Michael Lackey (editor), New York (City) : Bloomsbury Academic , 2018 15890779 2018 anthology interview

'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.' (Publication summary)
