If you could have any author –living or dead – write your biography, who would you choose?
Today I read a very interesting question: «If you could have any author –living or dead – write your biography, who would you choose? »
I’ve never thought about it.
At first, I’ve thought about Russian writers, of course. My first mind was: “Oh, maybe Dostoevsky or Tolstoy?” But they are too great to write about me =)
As a result, I’ve chosen Vladimir Dudintsev, the author of the book «Белые одежды». Why? That is that very way of writening that I love: a light style of reading, an intense plot, philosophical reflection and the great intertext. I would like was written like this book.
What is about World literature? I really don’t know. Maybe J. London or O’Genry. I love their creatures for the strength of mind (J. London) and for the outstanding sense of humour (O’Genry).
Finally, it may be very entertaining to read your own biography written by three different authors.

At first, I thought about Russian writers, of course. My first idea was: “Oh, maybe Dostoevsky or Tolstoy?” But they are too small to write about me =)

Very well written! (look up the story of Johnny McCrory; I don't know who wrote it. It was probably 'traditional')
