In the tradition of Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird," a critically
acclaimed National Book Award finalist shares inspiration and
practical advice for writing a memoir.
Writing memoir is a deeply personal, and consequential,
undertaking. As the acclaimed author of five memoirs spanning
significant turning points in her life, Beth Kephart has been both
blessed and bruised by the genre. In "Handling the Truth," she
thinks out loud about the form--on how it gets made, on what it
means to make it, on the searing language of truth, on the thin
line between remembering and imagining, and, finally, on the rights
of memoirists. Drawing on proven writing lessons and classic
examples, on the work of her students and on her own memories of
weather, landscape, color, and love, Kephart probes the wrenching
and essential questions that lie at the heart of memoir.
A beautifully written work in its own right, "Handling the Truth"
is Kephart's memoir-writing guide for those who read or seek to
write the truth.
