P1: Biographies are not always autobiographiesOften: biographies are autobiographies
On the contrary: serious biographers seek and welcome unfamiliar, however troublesome ...
Why: opportunities for breaking out and breaking through, in new directions, to fresh understanding.
P2: Biographers donot need to like their subjects
In practice, biographers must like the subject not as a person, but as a subject.
Some reasons are practical, knowledge and ability also determine the choice. Biographers are attracted by personal traits too.
What kinds of subjects are preferred by biographers?
P3: For biographers, the feeling that they can write a good book matters
"Can an effective book be made out of this person's life?"
Not necessarily affection for the subject but the feeling that they are writing a good book.
Main Idea: correct 2 misunderstandings towards biographies and biographers.
