“The Fraud” is a courtroom drama about an impostor, set against the backdrop of British imperialism. But the most suspect characters of all are the writers.

“Biography of X” is a search for a woman so powerful and prominent that no one really knew her.

The excitement around Bennett’s books lies in their willingness to circle back on themselves, lingering in uncertainties and contradictions.

A new biography captures a poet’s commitments, reversals, and reinventions.
