V originále
Alternatives in Biography focuses on texts that draw into question fictional, personal, and academic genre conventions in regard to auto/biography, foregrounding the multiple ways lives are written and selves are constructed. Each of the four chapters examines a particular type of transgressive auto/biographical writing: pastoral biography in the works of Peter Ackroyd, John Berger and Paul Carter; Indigenous collaborative life writing in Australia by Kim Scott and Hazel Brown, and Rita and Jackie Huggins; Uranian/fictionate autobiography of A. Newman and Forrest Reed; and bioregional biographies by Emily Carr and Emma Bell Miles.
In Czech
Kniha Alternativy v biografii se zabývá texty z anglicky psaných literatur, které svým způsobem zpochybňují fiktivní, osobní či akademické žánrové konvence ve vztahu k literární auto/biografii, a spíše upozorňují na mnohoznačnost způsobů psaní o životě a konstruování subjektivity. Každá ze čtyř kapitol zkoumá specifický typ transgresivní auto/biografie: pastorální biografii v dílech Petera Ackroyda, Johna Bergera a Paula Cartera; kolaborativní auto/biografie domorodých obyvatel v Austrálii v textech Kima Scotta a Hazel Brown a Rity a Jackie Hugginsových; beletrizované autobiografie A. Newmana a Forresta Reeda; a bioregionální biografie Emily Carrové a Emmy Bell Milesové.
