On the Ethics of Biography: A Panel Discussion
The David Petraeus - Paula Broadwell scandale militaire has generated much hand-wringing about the ethics of biography. By all accounts, sleeping with your subject is unethical; keeping it a secret is worse. The Leon Levy Center for Biography will address these and related issues with a panel discussion led by Gary Giddins, which includes a remarkable lineup: two Pulitzer Prize biographers, David Levering Lewis and John Matteson; the MacArthur "genius grant" ethicist Carol Levine; and the novelist Benjamin Anastas, whose new memoir, Too Good to Be True, has triggered a firestorm about telling too much.
