About this edition
Credited with sparking the current memoir explosion, Mary Karr's, which were critical hits as well. For thirty years Karr has also taught the form, winning teaching prizes at Syracuse. (The writing program there produced such acclaimed authors as Cheryl Strayed, Koren Zailckas, and Keith Gessen.) In, she synthesizes her expertise as professor and therapy patient, writer and spiritual seeker, recovered alcoholic and black-belt sinner, providing a unique window into the mechanics and art of the form that is as irreverent, insightful, and entertaining as her own work in the genre. Anchored by excerpts from her favorite memoirs and anecdotes from fellow writers' experience, lays bare Karr's own process. (Plus all those inside stories about how she dealt with family and friends get toldand the dark spaces in her own skull probed in depth.) As she breaks down the key elements of great literary memoir, she breaks open our concepts of memory and identity, and illuminates the cathartic power of reflecting on the past; anybody with an inner life or complicated history, whether writer or reader, will relate. Joining such classics as Stephen King's is an elegant and accessible exploration of one of today's most popular literary formsa tour de force from an accomplished master pulling back the curtain on her craft.
