| Popis: | Debby Applegate and John Matteson, winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in the consecutive years 2007 and 2008, both agree and disagree about the methods, aims, and ethical philosophy of biographical writing. Here, they converse about the negative stereotypes that biographers must overcome; the researching process; the moral nature of humanity; the relative value to the biographer of sympathy and cynicism; and much more. |
