Literary biography is a cruel genre. The authors of these books—by which I mean not just biographies about literary figures but also those that aspire to writerly excellence—have been described by the writer Janet Malcolm as “professional burglars.” After rifling through a person’s affairs, they must conjure inside their pages a living, breathing human being—and then, inevitably, they’ll have to close the coffin on their resurrected subject. But I like to think the “literary” element can temper the sting of these dastardly deeds, insofar as the author is tasked with perpetrating them in the most humane way possible: with the appropriate amount of reverence, style, and, yes, love. This is, at least, what I tried to do in my own literary biography, Baldwin: A Love Story, about James Baldwin’s life and relationships.

I’m Matteo, an Italian designer and artist from Sardinia, now based in New York. I work at The Atlantic as a designer and illustrator. Before that, I was part of the New York studio Sagmeister & Walsh. In the U.S., I’ve also collaborated with Apple, We Are Listen, and Hush, and in Europe, I worked with Winkreative and R/GA in London, and BBDO in Milan. My work focuses on branding, illustration, and art direction.

Each of these biographies resurrects a life, Nicholas Boggs writes. All are animated by the author’s love—for their subject, for language, and for pushing the boundaries of what the genre can do. https://theatln.tc/yZvVOpd7
