This site is about memoir

in the largest sense

which, in the case of memoir, is very large indeed.

Here you will find:

  • Real Life Stories, some told by me, some told by others;
  • Ruminations on memoir as a literary genre, and on the nature of memoir, and on the relationship between memoir and memory, memory and narrative, narrative and perception, perception and reality–and where does social context fit into all this? Let’s discuss.
  • Craft Notestips, prompts, tactics, strategies and information on the craft of writing memoir–the sorts of issues you’d be dealing with if you were taking a memoir-writing workshop. Feel free to send me your suggestions.
If no one remembers it, did it happen at all?
And if it didn’t, does it matter?
