"A specter viewed by a specter": Autobiography in Biography
View through CrossRef
Mark Harris makes explicit the hidden relationship between biographer and subject in Saul Bellow: Drumlin Woodchuck by calling attention to the process of researching and writing a biography. Boswell and Johnson are in the background as Harris draws on conventions usually associated with autobiography (its dramatized narrator and self-accounting form) to suggest the possibilities for evoking a "life" in the 20th century.
