10 reviews for The Man Who Would Be Queen: Autobiographical Fictions

  1. Navam Sharma –

    I was expecting something different, maybe more biographical. However, it’s still a well-written analysis of the genre.

  2. Anushka Agrawal –

    This book opened my eyes to the artifice behind autobiographies. I will never read a memoir the same way again!

  3. Arshiya –

    Interesting exploration of the genre, but sometimes felt a bit too academic for casual reading. Wharton’s inclusion was a plus!

  4. Shikhar Batra –

    An okay book. I learned a few things about autobiographical fiction, but it didn’t completely capture my attention.

  5. Rohan Naik –

    While the topic is fascinating, the writing style felt a bit convoluted. I wish it was more accessible.

  6. Shreyash Dadhich –

    I appreciated the insights, though some chapters were denser than others. Overall, a worthwhile exploration of autobiographical fiction.

  7. Mohd Faris Khan –

    Franzen’s analysis is sharp and thought-provoking. The book made me rethink how I approach both autobiographies and fiction. A challenging but rewarding read.

  8. Shubhi Verma –

    The insights into Edith Wharton were worth the price alone. I found it academically stimulating.

  9. Sitanshu Deb –

    A bit dry at times, but Franzen offers compelling arguments about the nature of truth in storytelling. I especially enjoyed the discussion of Wharton.

  10. Latpate Mayuri Dattatray –

    A brilliant dissection of how authors manipulate reality in their autobiographical works. Highly recommended for serious readers.
