Summary

This quote suggests that when a biographer is researching and writing about someone else's life, they inevitably find traces of themselves intertwined in the narrative. The process of delving into another person's story can inadvertently reveal parallels with the biographer's own experiences and perspectives, creating a blend of the subject's biography and the biographer's autobiography. This implies that despite the intention to portray another person's life objectively, the biographer's own identity and biases inevitably seep into the narrative and impact the overall depiction.
