So, are you doing it? What do you think of it?
For me it's an interesting topic, but I am struggling with many biographies and some ways biographies are presented. I am quite a fan of shorter associative paragraphs instead of a clear narrative like the hero's journey and such - for me, the linear telling of a life rarely works.
I love working with motives and places...
For me an intruiging autobiographical novel was Delphine de Vigan's Rien ne s’oppose à la nuit.
I have never watched I, Tonya, although I find Harding fascinating. I am just too afraid of the way Hollywood cuts biographies into a frame... but I thought Oppenheimer (which I watched because my son wanted to see it) was very good.
If you write about your own life, how do you do it?
