pathography. Based on pathology + biography, the word dates back to the 1970s. New York Times book critic Michiko Kakuta- ni in a May 17, 2005, review defined it as “a mean spirited voy- euristic genre of biography that Joyce Carol Oates once ob- served dwells on ‘dysfunction and disaster, illnesses and prat- falls, failed marriages and failed careers, alcoholism and break- downs and outrageous conflict.’ ” |
