I guess it's kind of like an op ed. I am looking for biographies/reviews/etc. that not only cover the factual, but add color and cultural context in an non-partisan yet opinionated way. I want the color more than I want the facts. Examples would include certain types of music reviews, and the Free Darko book (excerpts here - skim the Kobe one to see what I mean). To me it is so much more interesting to read about a subject, person, or event with through the voice of a trustworthy, well-spoken, and intelligent guru who can put it all into context and add emotion to the topic rather than keeping it cold, hard, and only focused on facts. Is there a name for this kind of journalism? Are there places where I can find biographies of this sort but not for NBA players? Thanks.
