Product Information
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 enable readers to explore how these issues are negotiated in contemporary world literature.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.

Reviews
Michael Lackey is a pioneer in this area, a brilliant and inventive critic who has lifted the biographical novel to its proper place in the literary firmament. His conversations with key novelists here -- an eclectic and international collection -- add immensely to his groundbreaking work. These conversations are intelligent, arresting, and informative. This is a major contribution to the field., "A goldmine for biofiction researchers through its conceptual density and the vividness of its dialogues, Conversations with Biographical Novelists is also a great source of insight into the working strategies of numerous acclaimed contemporary authors from various countries, including the recent Nobel Prize laureate Olga Tokarczuk. The interviews tackle specific contemporary issues like the porous boundary between historical and literary discourse and the limits of writerly responsibility, without shying away from the broader questions undergirding them, such as the meaning of writing and making sense of the world in the twenty-first century. [...] Conversations with Biographical Novelists is a valuable diagnosis of the state of our society through the lens of its literary understanding of the boundaries of truth. Its importance for cultural studies is paralleled by its impact on postmodern and post-postmodern studies, and of course, by its relevance for lifewriting scholars. [...] Next to the volume's impact on lifewriting scholarship, what stands out is its contribution to literary scholarship more generally by putting the author back on the map as a critical interlocutor. [...] The interviews offer the intellectual spectacle of writers tracing the genesis of their own ideas and theorizing aspects of their own technique [...] While remaining open to a diversity of approaches, Conversations with Biographical Novelists unveils original resonances between the conceptions of writers from all corners of the world, putting them in dialogue not just with their interviewers, but also, essentially, with one another." -- Biography "Michael Lackey has distinguished himself as a leading scholar of contemporary literature. In his preface to this provocative collection of interviews, he identifies the biographical novel as a 'countervailing aesthetic form' that is 'strategically different from and even in conflict with the historical novel.' The conversations gathered here express the varied processes these brilliant writers have devised in order to give shape to their unique creative visions. The questions from interviewers are stimulating, the answers are fascinating, and the whole book brings new insights and energies to the study of biographical fiction." -- Joanna Scott, Roswell Smith Burrows Professor of English, University of Rochester, USA, and author of Careers for Women (2017) "Michael Lackey is a pioneer in this area, a brilliant and inventive critic who has lifted the biographical novel to its proper place in the literary firmament.
