The fact that sales of the life of the employment "has skyrocketed, but few are tempted by Assange shows flaccidity of the biography as a form
Sometimes biography is declared dead. No doubt the writer Hilary Spurling said five years ago when he won the Whitbread Book Award for years of life to his two volumes of Matisse. But perhaps alluding to the literary class of fat. Because in everyday life, the biography, that's all. It's not just the stuff of reality TV and gossip magazines and the global appeal of Wolverine webmail daily: it is also the color in the speeches of politicians and the come-on science popular base of the invention of the artist as art. Even between hard covers, which still sells. Even the biography of an executive. But when we talk about Steve Jobs.
Once upon a time the staff were really personal. The actors are supposed to privacy rackety, but no one should know about them. Impeccable conservative Young Clement Attlee was of no importance to the radical agenda of his government, and only a small group knew at that moment 20 years ago, Harold Macmillan's wife, Lady Dorothy was in love with the mistress of a fellow Conservative. Now it seems that everyone lives with their curtains open - and yet be more people, more people want to know
Jobssought his biographer, Walter Isaacson, the strength of his old life of Benjamin Franklin. Collaborated with him, opening the first of his family in front of his outrageous behavior in the office, sharing their moments of disaster, and even the selection of photos in the weeks before his death.
So in a world without secrets, which must obviously be another reason to part with the price of a good bottle of wine for the story of a life, and all so when it is reported by the subject has contributed to speak. Risk authorized biography of the dead hand of holiness, the sense of the hand of an author was the agreement between subject and writer.
- The only interesting thing Roy Jenkins told me when I interviewed him about his former cabinet colleague, Barbara Castle, which I was writing an authorized biography and he thought little, I was was not published until dead. "It is impossible to write a good biography when the subject is alive," he warned. He says himself brilliantly, his death had been a prerequisite for the publication of his biography.
therefore jobs, even if it was just an incredibly talented CEO, was a sure-fire winner. It is more difficult to explain why the authorized biography-but-not allowed Assange, the hero of the rebellion the world has failed, apparently sold by a collection of stories Mills and Boon. Perhaps the publishers, Canongate, misjudged their market. People who were interested in what would mark Assange not buy a book that was certainly a betrayal in itself, published only half of its preparation.
