Biographical fiction is a literary genre that weaves the real-life story of a historical figure with invented elements like dialogue, events, and emotions to create a compelling narrative. This approach allows authors to explore the inner worlds of icons like Abraham Lincoln or Frida Kahlo while filling in historical gaps, making it a bridge between dry facts and imaginative storytelling. In today's media landscape, it's increasingly used in novels, films, and TV series to educate and entertain, sparking debates about the ethics of altering history for artistic effect.
