Who would you have write your biography & what could be it's title?

Jean M Auel (Clan of the Cave Bear) and I would want her to give me credit for most of the discoveries of the 20th century. (the way she does the characters in her fiction).

For the title: Woman of the New Dawn.

I’m going to have a fellow jellie help with this. The title? Perhaps “A Woman’s Story.”

Diary of an Insane White Woman, written by Carol Burnett

Noam Chomskey – “Manufacturing Dissent.”

Jerry Garcia. He can call it “The Grateful Dredd.”

I’d happily do it myself (I hate paying anyone to do for me what I could do for myself). But since that answer is DQd, would have to go with Lisa Lutz.

J D Salinger as writer. “Tying up Loose Ends” as the title

The drunk guy that lives down the lane.

My second choice would be Rue Paul, and the title would be either “Condragulations” or “Bitch Be Crazy”.

Steven King “The Knowledge Seeker”.

@lucillelucillelucille Okay that’s the title sewn up, but who writes the damn thing eh?

Stephen King would have to be the author of my life so far. I can’t think of anybody else who would be able to accurately show what a weird little kid I was, or make people really feel the [insert several emotions/states of mind that will make me sound hopelessly self-pitying if I just list them without going into detail, which I don’t feel like doing at the moment] of the past decade or so.

As for a title… Damn, I don’t know. I can never think of titles for anything until I’ve finished writing it, and I’m hoping I still have a few chapters left before this one’s over.

Jeez, I think it’s a little early for me to be thinking about a biography. Although, it would be great if I could get Gregory Maguire.

Thanks awfully patrons! I think i’d insist on having James Caan write my masterpiece. He better had or i’ll break his cockamamie legs. Lordy lord I would :¬)

I’d like my biography to be written by Tom Wolfe (“The Right Stuff,” “Bonfire of the Vanities”). His skill at creating great satire by mixing fact and fiction would serve him well in writing my life story.

To cover the long, successful 16 years of my life on this planet? :P Too early to say.
coughcough It’d be “Here Again Tomorrow” and I’d want Cormac McCarthy to write it..

hmm, IT would be called “The girl who never was” and I’d like Simon Armitage to write it.

“The Phobia of Flying” by John Updike… ^_^
I could totally see that as a quirky short story!

I volunteer to write MacBean’s biography!

Poppy Z Brite could write mine. I’d be a lot nicer than Courtney Love was. Title? “It’s like a panda playing a violin….” The ellipses would not be optional.

If I could have any author write my story, it would be Fannie Flagg. She is able to take the ordinary and elevate it to special, valuable and worthy. Title: “Ordinary, Extraordinary and Everything In Between.”

I’d like Kurt Vonnegut to write mine. He was one of the greatest writers of all time.

The title would be borrowed from a Billy Bragg song: “Little Black Cloud in a Dress”.

@Seelix Hey, what’s the first one he did? Am looking at amazon on this guy (I never heard of him) and I usually like reading books in order. I see he does book that are short stories, not one of them, please. You know, his first regular novel type book, if you please. Have about 4 or 5 book in the hopper now, and am looking for more. Willing to give this guy a try, though I generally like female writers better.

Oh, my good lord. He’s the best I’ve ever read. I didn’t read his books in order, and I wouldn’t suggest that anyone do so – he’s the kind of writer who only gets better as he goes along. I’d strongly suggest you start with Slaughterhouse-Five, published in 1969 (a novel, not an anthology). It’s not his absolute best, in my opinion, but it’s definitely the most accessible to new readers. He’s a little off-the-wall, as you’ll see if you decide to read him, but Slaughterhouse introduces his style well.

Player Piano was his first novel, but I’ll admit that I didn’t like it.

I like off-the-wall stuff. If you like mysteries, of a sort, you may enjoy The Spellman Files, and the three that follow. These you really should read in order, as one starts where another stops, sort of. Cool, $8.25 used on Amazon, and could go right to the library when done. Will give it a crack open in a couple of months, after all those college mysteries are read.

I’m pretty sure that this will sound crazy ( because it is) but I think it would be interesting if Emily Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and John Steinbeck could all somehow team up to write my biography. These are all of my favorite authors, and I think that if they could get past their differing styles and time periods, it would be one awesome piece.
However, I don’t really think my life has been interesting enough to be worthy of these guys so far. I think I’d like my biography to be titled something like “Tips to surviving the neuroses of an early adulthood mind, whom also happens to be female and incredibly awkward.” Or something like that.

WOW,,, great choice of writers @etignotasanimum !!!
ggrrrr,, NOW i wish I’d chosen em too…
