Focusing on the narrative techniques of British literary biographies from the past fifty years, the book explores how authors' lives are portrayed rather than the events themselves. It engages in dialogue with notable biographers like Michael Holroyd and Hermione Lee, emphasizing biography as a collaborative process involving biographers, subjects, and readers. Additionally, it examines the concept of haunting, suggesting that reflecting on others' lives can deepen our understanding of our own experiences.
