This is an inspiring book, that approaches memoir not just as an intellectual exercise but as a way to exert ownership over your life. I particularly liked her interpretations of memoirs i've recently read, such as The Liar's Club.

In depth study of writing memoir and the memoirs that started the genre. I found many insights that will have to be explored in more detail and enjoyed the commentary of what is out there, how we got to where we are, and where we may be going in telling our stories. Very useful and informative. I'll be reading this again and keeping it in my library as reference.
