Beginning with the idea that memory is nothing more than "an angle
of perception," Murdock explores the recurrent question asked by
writers and readers of memoir alike: what actually happened?
Prompted by the loss of identity that accompanied her mother's
struggle with Alzheimer's and subsequent lost memories, Murdock
proposes that perhaps the faithful recording of the past isn't
where the strength of memoir lies. Instead, Murdock looks at the
basic components of memoir writing and the process of
self-reflection it requires and how they bring awareness to the
underlying patterns of life. This captivating treatise on the
corruptibility of memory, willed identity, and the self as
reflected through the lens of memoir speaks to all attracted to
this most intimate of genres, and provides tools for exploration of
the self and soul through personal narrative. Included are
practical tips and writing suggestions for the aspiring memoirist
and a glossary of writing terms.
