Description

What responsibilities do we have to key figures, living or dead, as we strive to capture their essence? What about when the subject is our own selves? Nicholas Boggs, author of the hotly-anticipated biography Baldwin: A Love Story, guides you through the art of writing real lives, and turning the dry facts and dates of research into a compelling story.
