Are Biographies Nonfiction Novels & Stories

However, you have a thousand hearts imagining. [Please reference my past complaints about biographies.] 4) a) I am again convinced that my rule on biographies is right — that the only right biography to have as reference is the one written by the person with the closest ties to the subject. I have yet to find an instance where this hasn’t been of benefit. (But, again, this may go back to the aforementioned friction between character and vision.) The portrayal of the subject as they are I find to be most helpful in the understanding of expression and decision making.

He was old school if he read a wide variety of the comics that inspired them. “That’s really cool,” she told him honestly. He smiled. “Not as cool as reading nonfiction for fun. That’s seriously impressive. I never read nonfiction unless it was for school.” “Fiction and nonfiction both have their places in terms of entertainment and how informative they are.

You’d expect to find a story like this in the fiction aisle of your brick and mortar bookstore instead of the non-fiction section where it truly belongs, and that’s okay with me.
