I'm in the mood for making lists. :) So, here comes a list of 10+ novels about novelists -and poets. These are all written by others than the novelist/poet the novel is about. Some of these books I have read already, some I own, but have not read yet, and the rest I want to read at some point.
- The Brontë sisters
Jude Morgan: The Taste of Sorrow - Pearl S. Buck
Anchee Min: Pearl of China - Lewis Carroll
Katie Roiphe: She Still Haunts Me - Emily Dickinson
Paola Kaufmann: The Sister - Fyodor Dosteyevsky
Leonid Tsypkin: Summer in Baden-Baden - Henry James
David Lodge: Author, Author
Colm Tóibín: The Master - Murasaki Shikibu
Liza Dalby: The Tale of Murasaki - Sylvia Plath
Kate Moses: Wintering - Sappho
Erica Jong: Sappho's Leap - Virginia Woolf
Michael Cunningham: The Hours
Susan Sellers: Vanessa & Virginia
Which other non-autobiographical novels about novelists or poets would you recommend me?
