I don’t like using the “B” word (biography). I prefer to say I am writing “a book about the life of Henri Bergson.” The reason is embarrassing: I find the very concept of biography intimidating. How do you capture a person’s whole existence in a few hundred pages? At least, if I am writing “about Bergson’s life,” I can circle in and out, explore tangents, and crucially, I don’t have to cover
Monsieur Bergson, what a big forehead you have!
Enjoyed reading your thoughts. 😊👍
I am SO looking forward to this book!
