Summary: | New creative forms of life writing have emerged over the past four decades. Following in the footsteps of the ""New Biographers, "" who more than half a century earlier had trusted art and imagination to uncover some truth about a singular existence, some late-twentieth and twenty-first century novelists, playwrights and essayists staged the lives of writers they loved, wanted to vindicate, or whose influence they needed to acknowledge and ward off.
