About this product

Product Information

In the voices of twenty landmark memoirists--including New York Times bestselling authors Cheryl Strayed, Sue Monk Kidd, and Pat Conroy--a definitive text on the craft of autobiographical writing, indispensable for amateur and professional writers alike. For readers of Mary Karr's The Art of Memoir and Judith Barrington's Writing the Memoir , this follow-up to editor Meredith Maran's acclaimed writers' handbook, Why We Write, offers inspiration, encouragement, and pithy, practical advice for bloggers, journal-keepers, aspiring essayists, and memoirists. Curated and edited by Maran, herself an acclaimed author and book critic, these memoirists share the lessons they've learned through years of honing their craft. They reveal what drives them to tell their personal stories and examine the nuts and bolts of how they do it. Speaking frankly about issues ranging from turning oneself into an authentic, compelling character to exposing hard truths, these outstanding authors disclose what keeps them going, what gets in their way, and what they love most--and least--about writing about themselves. "It's possible that Why We Write About Ourselves is the first compilation of memoirists at the top of their game seriously and thoughtfully considering the genre." - LA Times

Reviews
"Most of the contributors are likely to be familiar to readers... Candid revelations for readers; useful advice and encouragement for aspiring writers." - Kirkus, "This collection reporting why writers write about themselves hops from the fascinating to theclarifying to the downright inspirational. This is not a book to be read lightly nor to be read all at once--it is chock-full of brilliance and insight. Most contributions are so vital and exhilarating that readers will likely set the book aside to go walk, talk, think, and, perhaps, write themselves.A truly stellar collection and a must-read for writers."-- Booklist (starred review)   "Candid revelations for readers; useful advice and encouragement for aspiring writers."-- Kirkus   In this helpful collection, 20 authors address the challenges of personal writing, from self-reflection to respecting the feelings of the other people in one's life. A diverse group of contributors to speak from their personal experiences while also reflecting on memoir as a genre. "-- Publishers Weekly   "In this follow-up to Maran's Why We Write here are insights offered by key writers ranging from Ishmael Beah, Edwidge Danticat, and Nick Flynn to Sue Monk Kidd, Cheryl Strayed, and Edmund White."-- Library Journal "Bestselling authors  spill secrets about the act of spilling secrets."-- Wall Street Journal
