Biographers. Discussion: Małgorzata Czyńska, Magdalena Grzebałkowska, Angelika Kuźniak

Other people’s lives have always fascinated us, which is why biographical writing as almost as old as our culture. The questions it faces also remain unchanged. How to write about someone’s life? What are the borders of intimacy that cannot be crossed (if there are any)? Can fiction and fictionalisation be avoided? And to go one question further: how are biographies written by women different than those written by men? Does a female biographer have a different perspective than a man?

Discussion: Małgorzata Czyńska, Magdalena Grzebałkowska, Angelika Kuźniak
