Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession comes an ingenious novel about love and literary sleuthing: a dazzling fiction woven out of one mans search for certainty.Elegant . witty . intelligent. The Washington PostHere is 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 messiness of real life by writing a biography of a great biographer. In a series of adventures that are by turns intellectual and comic, scientific and sensual, Phineas tracks his subject to the deserts of Africa and the maelstrom of the Arctic. Along the way he comes to rely on two women, one of whom may be the guide he needs out of the dizzying labyrinth of his research and back into his own life. A tantalizing yarn of detection and desire, The Biographers Tale is a provocative look at truth in biography and our perennial quest for certainty. From the Booker Prize-winning author of "Possession" comes an ingenious novel about love and literary sleuthing. Tantalizing, witty, and delightfully rueful, this paperback edition is the story of a disenchanted postgraduate student who decides to study "the messiness of real life" by writing a biography of a great biographer. 7 illustrations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780375725081
