Description
Memory is an angle of perception, and it's this idea that Maureen Murdock explores in her thought-provoking memoir. Prompted by her own experiences with identity loss and memory fragmentation, Murdock challenges the notion that faithful recording of the past is where the strength of memoir lies.
Instead, she examines the fundamental components of memoir writing and the process of self-reflection it requires, revealing how these elements can bring awareness to underlying patterns in life. This book offers practical tips and writing suggestions for aspiring memoirists, as well as a glossary of key terms.
