Recenzii
Biographical Fiction catches the study of biofiction on the upswing. This up-to-the-minute volume, the only one of its kind, features major writers and critics and is sure to be a key point of reference for scholars and students of biographical fiction.
Biofiction has come into its own as a major genre. This timely anthology of author notes and interviews, lectures and essays, covers nearly a century of writing on an increasingly popular genre, tracing its emergence as a distinct form for understanding history and the people, both famous and forgotten, who made it. Scholars owe Michael Lackey a debt of gratitude for compiling such a rich history of this important genre and showing us, in Lackey's words, 'what this aesthetic form is uniquely capable of doing.'
Michael Lackey's magisterial collection introduces general readers, students, and scholars alike to one of the most fascinating and productive fields of 20th and 21st century poetology, theory, and philosophy. Biofictions challenge our understanding of past and present and the way we relate to and account for such issues as history and truth, or personal lives and identity by means of narration. Biofictions are highly intertextual and interauthorial (life-)writings and, therefore, they address perennial questions of originality and authenticity making use of manifold imaginative strategies. Lackey's collection carefully retraces the varied history of biographical fiction from initially rather dismissive reactions from critics to the veritable triumph of the genre after the advent of postmodernism. Lackey has very wisely chosen to present us with a rich choice of texts that spans over almost a century and that includes authors' reflections, lectures, forum contributions, interviews, and a choice of critical essays. This makes for a fascinating, learned, highly informative, multi-perspective, and multi-faceted reading which offers historical overview as well as many starting points for further reading and research--a milestone in biofiction studies.
[This] collection heralds the birth of biofiction as a genre in its own right, separate from historical fiction or life writing, and seeks to advocate for its recognition as a discrete literary phenomenon with its own aesthetic parameters . The strength of this anthology lies in its presentation of many different and important perspectives on the genre . Lackey's choice of contrasting material in this volume allows its readers to weigh up for themselves the status, form and role of the genre, advocating for its importance whilst leaving its definitive boundaries decisively blurred.
