I definitely have one- Culture Shock by Cesar R Frausto on Amazon. Intense biographical story

Some great ones come to mind – *Flaubert: A Biography* by Frederick Brown is solid for French writers, and *The Invisible Bridge* about Dickens is pretty engaging. For American writers you can’t go wrong with the Walter Isaacson bio of Benjamin Franklin if you count him as a writer

Stephen King On Writing. It’s a manual for writing but also tells the story of his life.

I enjoyed *The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings* by Philip and Carol Zelesky and *The Determined Heart: The Tale of Mary Shelley and Her Frankenstein* by Antoinette May.
If you’re also interested in autobiography/memoir, *A Moveable Feast* by Earnest Hemingway is pretty great.
