Reseña del editor:

This book studies fictional works about real, historical authors. The twenty essays in this collection examine authors and author/characters from Brazil to Germany and from the United States to Greece. Gender issues, sexual preferences, and political affiliations are considered, as well as the anxiety of influence and the limits of representation.
