Dear all,

Does anyone know of a non-Russian novel in which one of the characters is a
relative of the author (who may also appear in that novel as a character)?

Many thanks,
Alexey


Dear Alexey,

The only thing that springs to mind is Gore Vidal. I stay away from him as
much as possible myself, but I do know that his family history includes some
illustrious Americans and that he may have tackled some of them in his
historical novels. It wouldn't surprise me to learn he had tucked himself in
as well. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's a place to start.

Why do you ask?

Carolyn
