Did you know that George Orwell requested there be no official biography in his final will. Despite this there are at least six that I can find.

Biographies

Bernard Crick (George Orwell: A Life, 1980).

Michael Sheldon (Orwell: The Authorized Biography, 1991).

Jeffrey Meyers (Orwell: Wintry Conscience of a Generation, 2000).

Gordon Bowker (George Orwell, 2003).

D. J. Taylor (Orwell: The Life, 2003); and Orwell: The New Life, 2023).

It seems odd that there were Authorised biographies, the first two above have been quoted as such in 1980 and 1991, as Orwell died in 1950!

Do you think it is right to write a biography against the express wishes of the subject?

The next book is either Heart Burn, Heartburn, Earth Burn, Earthburn, Burn Earth or Burn earth. I've never heard of any of these but will now look them all up.
