Autobiographies of Others: Historical Subjects and Literary Fiction - Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature
Boldrini, Lucia (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK)
This book examines "heterobiography"—the first-person fictional account of a historic life. Boldrini explores the tension in these texts between historicity and the desire to free the subject from historical necessity. Authors studied include Malouf, Carey, Ondaatje, Adair, Banti, and Montalbán.
