Changes

It is very hard to find any other book which really compares with this - indeed Duffy has made the 'fictional biography' something of a personal genre ('The World As I Found It' being based on the life of Wittgenstein). But all biographies of historical characters are something of a leap into the imaginative, in order to link the facts and remains as we have them. Another book which attepmpts to understand a very complex and not always likeable literary character [[The Adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle by Russell Miller]] has a great deal to recommend it. From the same location, we have [[The Ghosts of Eden by Andrew J H Sharp]].
