“One is a memoir by Patrick Swayze, and the other is about him,” Ms. Schmidt said. “When a celebrity does it, it’s very different than when a biographer does it. They’re just two different entities.”
If no one has done it, there’s a new literary criticism field: Celebrity Lit. – I have books by Jewel, Art Garfunkel, and now Swayze—-and there are probably many more. Phew!
