Sometimes You Have to Lie: The Life and Times of Louise Fitzhugh, Renegade Author of Harriet the Spy by Leslie Brody
4.0
this was a fantastic biography, great and entertaining reading. props to brody for cementing fitzhugh as the out and proud lesbian she clearly was in her life. in many passages fitzhugh came off annoying to me, like her relationship with her publishers, but ultimately i think she was a well intentioned, sensitive, opinionated woman, and that’s not a bad thing. despite how she came off and my personal feelings towards that, i think she was wildly important and we are grateful to have her legacy. i’ve never read harriet, i do find myself more interested in nobodys family, if i were to pick up any of her work…just a delightful, well researched read and i think it’s the perfect addition to fitzhughs legacy, really does her justice
