6 reviewsFictionalized biography is a dangerous genre: history purists chafe at anything that cannot be one hundred percent verified, while novel addicts perhaps lose patience with information that doesn’t immediately carry the story forward or reveal new aspects of the characters. In an effort, if not to please, at least to mollify both parties, I can claim not to have tampered with the essential facts of Turgenev’s life (e.g. where and with whom he was at any given time) but my interpretation of these facts has been coloured according to the dictates of my imagination.
I have tried always to bear in mind some lines Umberto Eco wrote on the subject of fictionalized biography: ‘In order to give us a vivid image of a character, the author reconstructs dialogue that may not have taken place exactly as he described; we may accept this but we demand that the writer’s reconstruction be based on documents which, if they do not confirm those conversations, at least do not render them implausible.’
