What I’m rereading — I’ve long been fascinated by Mary Karr (@marykarrlit), and I originally picked up her book on the craft of memoir writing after a recommendation by Michael Pollan. It applies to much of life, and I’d consider it a philosophical guide in many respects, replete with the dead serious (e.g., how to communicate past abuse) and spit-up-your-coffee funny (e.g., catshit sandwich metaphors). If you work with the written word in any capacity, I highly recommend. For more Mary, check out my recent podcast interview with her.
An accomplished memoirist and writing professor, the author shares her expertise in "The Art of Memoir." With insights from her own experiences and those of other writers, she breaks down the key elements of the genre, exploring memory, identity, and the power of reflecting on the past. This book is an elegant and accessible exploration of a popular literary form, perfect for writers and readers alike.
