Who wrote the most controversial biographies in literature and poetry?

Gilmore Mapp

Well, well, well... If we're talking about controversial biographies in literature and poetry, there's really only one name that comes to mind: the one and only, the infamous and sometimes scandalous, Andrew Morton.

Now, you may be scratching your head and wondering who on Earth this Morton guy is, but trust me, you've probably heard of some of his most controversial works. This British journalist and author is known for delving into the private lives of celebrities and public figures, and let's just say he doesn't hold back when it comes to spilling the tea.

One of Morton's most famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) biographies is his 1992 book about Princess Diana, simply titled "Diana: Her True Story". This book caused quite a stir when it was released, as it painted a picture of the late princess as being unhappy in her marriage to Prince Charles and struggling with mental health issues. Morton claimed to have had direct conversations with Diana herself, which added to the book's shocking nature.

But Morton didn't stop there. He went on to write biographies about other controversial figures, such as Monica Lewinsky (remember her?) and Tom Cruise. His 2008 book "Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography" was particularly scandalous, as it delved into Cruise's involvement in Scientology and alleged relationships with other Hollywood stars.

So why is Andrew Morton so controversial? Well, some critics argue that his books are more gossipy than informative, and that he often relies on anonymous sources. Others argue that he has a tendency to sensationalize the lives of his subjects in order to sell more books. But regardless of what you think of him, there's no denying that Morton has made a name for himself in the world of celebrity biographies.

So there you have it, folks. If you're looking for a controversial biography to read, Andrew Morton is your man. Just be prepared for some scandalous revelations and maybe a few raised eyebrows.
