Biography: A Comedy By S. N. Behrman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432591304)

""Biography: A Comedy"" is a book written by S. N. Behrman, a renowned American playwright and essayist. The book is a witty and satirical take on the genre of biographies, exploring the absurdities and contradictions inherent in the process of documenting someone's life. Through a series of fictional vignettes, Behrman pokes fun at the conventions of biographical writing, such as the tendency to mythologize and romanticize the subject, as well as the often subjective and biased nature of the biographer's perspective. The book is both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on a well-worn literary genre. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of biography, as well as fans of Behrman's unique brand of humor and wit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
