Uncomfortable Truths
The sign of a truly great biography is universal praise with a sole voice of protest. You know you're reading something vital when its subject tries to prevent its release, refuses to acknowledge its existence, or is publicly wounded by their portrayal.
Too many biographies today are little more than extended Wikipedia entries. They fail to conduct a serious inquiry into the core of a person. We need more biographies willing to publicly undress the figures they profile. The goal is to reveal the complex human being beneath the carefully constructed persona, not to embarrass.
