It is thought-provoking, explanatory, and practical: each chapter ends with writing exercises. It covers everything from questions of truth and ethics to questions of craft and the crucial retrospective voice. An appendix provides information on legal issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith Barrington, an award-winning memoir writer and acclaimed writing teacher, is attuned to the forces, both external and internal, that work to stop a writer; her tone is respectful of the difficulties and encouraging of taking risks. Her nimble prose, her deep belief in the importance of this genre, and her delight in the rich array of memoirists writing today make this book more than the typical how-to creative writing book. In this second edition the author has added new material and reflects on issues raised since \u003ci\u003eWriting the Memoir\u003c\/i\u003e was written, early in the memoir boom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo student of memoir writing could fail to learn from this wise, pragmatic, and confiding book.
