When I first heard of The Pythons: Autobiography by the Pythons, I was
quite intrigued by the subject matter and expected quite a bit of such a book.
Although, even with the promising subject matter I worried that it would not be
atubobiographic enough for this class and that the mediator would impose a
biographic influence on the piece. This is something that we in class have
talked about on numerous occasions citing that an autobiographic text is meant
to be told about the self, by the self, and outside interference could alter what
an autobiography is supposed to be.
Fortunate enough for me within the first few pages, skipping the intro, I realized that
the book was purely a round table discussion between the Pythons. While I'm sure that
everything that was said didn't make it into the book or at some point was altered for
any number of reasons, the book got across a message straight from the comedic troupe's
mouths.
