How does one become a genre defining author? Are they brilliant and gifted from a young age? Do they discover their gift in some strange and fanciful way? Or are the bread for greatness? If there is anything Danny has learned from his own writing and from this biography it is that legends use their life experience and will to put pen to paper. Jane Austen is one of the most celebrated authors in all of English and world history, so Danny, as a Janeit himself, made it a goal to understand why. By use of this phenomenal biography and through a dynamic conversation with one of his best friends, Danny and the Tsar deepen their understanding of who Jane was as and individual, and how the circumstances of her life and family molded her into a prolific author. They also discuss what specific events made it into the book and the problems of her romantic life. There's also a deep conversation about how important letters are to history and how little there may actually be known about Jane and her life. However, through it all, these two friends learn about one of the best authors in history.
