The Biographer’s Tale.
Chatto & Windus, London 2000, 8vo, orig. bind med omslag, 265 s., engelsk tekst.
«In this witty, Borges-like novel, A. S. Byatt weaves a dazzling fiction out of one man’s search for fact. Fed up with stultifying criticism, Phineas G. decides to study the messiness of ‘real life’. Doing nothing by halves he sets out to write a biography of a great biographer. But a ‘whole life’ is hard to find. How do we put the idea of a person together? Everywhere he looks he finds fragments and gaps: disconnected typescripts, bones and husks, boxes of marbles, collections of photographs. Trails run cold and mysteries are unresolved.»
