The modern-day biographer's job ain't easy. It requires exhaustive research and demands equal attention to both the subject's commendable and reprehensible qualities. James Atlas spent nearly a decade researching and writing an account of Nobel Prize-winning author Saul Bellow's life; Edmund Morris' The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award; and Stacy Schiff, another Pulitzer winner, penned a study of Vladmir Nabokov's wife, Vera, and a biography of French author/aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Tonight, these three biographers speak about their process and craft.
