Seven of the most honored biographers of our time—Pulizer Prize winners Justin Kaplan and Barbara Tuchman, National Book Award recipient Theodore Rosengarten, and esteemed literary critics Leon Edel, Dorris Kearns, Geoffrey Wolff, and Alfred Kazin—examine the joys, limitations, and challenges of defining a life. For the very first time, biographers interpret the art of biography.

Review:

"So compact are the pieces . . . so crammed with ideas and insights and nuances, that each could very well be expanded to several times its length."—Joyce Carol Oates



"Essays with more insights than a cookie has crumbs. . . . Yet the book is only 151 pages long. And it still manages to cover every aspect of the art."—New York Times
