Now this is an authorized biography, which means that Foster calls the shots. It is published by the company of his old friend Lord Weidenfeld. It is written by Deyan Sudjic, one of a succession of critics who have been close to Foster over the years. Sudjic describes how he has flown with Foster (until recently a keen pilot), dined with Foster, been in the back of cars with Foster, and so forth. Being authorized, he says, suggests a certain intimacy between subject and author. How intimate, you wonder? As ever with Foster, the answer is: not very.
