Immerse yourself in the story of Phineas G. Nanson, a disenchanted graduate student who decides to escape the world of postmodern literary theory and immerse himself in the "real life" by writing a biography of a great biographer. Through intellectual and comic, scientific and sensual adventures, Phineas follows his subject to the deserts of Africa and the maelstrom of the Arctic. Along the way, he relies on two women, one of whom may be the guide he needs to get out of the labyrinth of his research and back into his own life. 'The Biographer's Tale' is a provocative look at "truth" in biography and our perennial quest for certainty.
Dame Antonia Susan Duffy, known professionally by her former married name, A. S. Byatt, was an English critic, novelist, poet and short-story writer. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages.
