A little bit of gossip

Aren't you a little bit curious about the Brontë biographers are and how their lives are? Biographers spend their lives writing about others but they usually are very private people. So, if you have read The Brontë Myth by Lucasta Miller, you will enjoy reading what Ian Bostridge - her tenor husband - says about her and her book:

Although Bostridge does sing opera onstage, he has yet to do so in America. Partly this is a matter of spending time away from his young son and his wife, writer/editor Lucasta Miller, whom he married in 1992. (They have been together since 1986; Bostridge was not even a professional singer yet when he met her.)

Miller’s The Brontë Myth was released in America by Knopf in 2004. “I was very proud of her, because it was on the front of the New York Times Book Review. She got a very nice review from the critic, Michiko Kakutani, who just savaged President Clinton’s memoirs and is known as a ferocious person.” Miller also writes commentary pieces, profiles and reviews for the Guardian.
