The present participle of Boswell, meaning to write about or chronicle someone's life in detailed, conversational biographical style.
From James Boswell plus -ize and the -ing participle suffix. This is the active form describing the ongoing process of writing biography in Boswell's intimate, detailed manner.
If you're taking notes on everything interesting someone says and does with the goal of writing their biography later, you're technically Boswellizing them! Imagine having a friend whose entire job was just documenting your life—that was basically what Boswell did for Samuel Johnson.
