"...Plenty of biographers dramatize their narratives with descriptions of emotions, highly coloured scene-setting, or strategies of suspense. Some go further, and deploy full-scale fictional methods: invented meetings between author and subject, imaginary episodes, musings on the identity of the biographer, and hypothetical conversations."
Thank you in advance.
"Subject" refers here to the person whose biography the biographer is writing: so it might be written like it's a casual conversation over coffee, when it didn't actually happen like that.
