Summary

This quote suggests that it is difficult to create a satisfactory biography of a great novelist. The reason being, a talented novelist is often able to create and embody multiple characters and perspectives within their work. They possess a complex and multifaceted nature which makes it challenging to capture their essence in a biography. Their creativity allows them to become different people through their writing, making it impossible to define them solely based on their personal life. Therefore, a comprehensive and accurate biography of a skilled novelist is deemed nearly impossible due to the complexity and versatility of their artistic abilities.
