The Quest For Corvo by A. J. A. Symons
The book is a genre-blending biography that follows the author's obsessive search to uncover the life of an enigmatic and relatively obscure writer. Through a series of interviews, letters, and pieced-together anecdotes, the biographer delves into the complex character of his subject, a man of great talent and creativity who nonetheless struggled with personal demons and societal rejection. The narrative is as much about the biographer's journey and the process of biographical discovery as it is about the eccentric and troubled life of the writer himself, presenting a unique and engaging exploration of identity, legacy, and the nature of biographical pursuit.
