![]() ![]() Imagine my happiness when I found out about a graphic novel on Charlotte Brontë’s early life. ![]() (Above: Some of the biographies of authors I have recently read) Take, for example the author of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë, whose life has always fascinated me. And yet, can’t the life of an author make a good story in its own right? I think it can. Literature offers plenty of such examples. The people who have written the books or the poems that have inspired our lives, giving us strength and happiness or hope, may well be weak, grumpy, or hopeless in their own private lives. This feeling is not completely fair: authors have the right to disappear behind their works. Maybe because when I fall in love with a novel or a poem I can’t help trying to imagine the person who has written it, until he or she becomes a sort of an imaginary friend to me. I love reading about the lives of inspiring people, especially of writers. ![]()
