Writing

I also tend to read multiple biographies of the same person (for example, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, Nancy Mitford). I do not like when the author tends to conflate the subject of the biography with what the author's written. That comes off more to me like a book report (I don't mean that the author's works should be absent from the biography, quite the contrary, but for example, there is a biography of Edith Wharton by Hermione Lee that at times doesn't even seem to be about Edith Wharton).
