I’ve been getting into reading more biographies, and for the most part, it’s been great, but there’s always a lingering thought in my head asking: how much of this is real? I remember large phases of my life, and I get that a biographer would interview people around them/take countless hours trying to remember the past, but how can you remember so many things in such great detail?
This made me laugh because it’s so true! My thesis for my bachelor’s in history was heavy.
My bibliography for my history PhD was over 200 pages
