Book Overview

""Biography: A Comedy"" is a book written by S. N. Behrman, an American playwright and screenwriter.

The story follows a biographer named Marion Froude, who is commissioned to write a book about the life of a famous actress named Caroline Fenton. As Marion delves deeper into Caroline's life, she begins to uncover secrets and inconsistencies that challenge her preconceived notions of the actress.
