Sven Birkerts book on the craft of writing memoir is an excellent read, and undeniably useful to writers of coming-of-age sagas, fathers and sons memoirs, mothers and daughters memoirs, and trauma and memory memoirs, among other subjects. A memoir writer’s recollecting, in essence by re-inhabiting the former self, is a way of attempting to find meaning of one’s own experience. That being said, Birkerts poignantly explains why so many memoirs fail and why others succeed. He offers great insights into the most powerful and necessary elements of good memoir writing, such as universalizing the specific and coaxing sympathetic resonance from the reader. I highly recommend this book. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Art Of series is a new line of books reinvigorating the practice of craft and criticism. Each book will be a brief, witty, and useful exploration of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry by a writer impassioned by a singular craft issue. The Art Of volumes will provide a series of sustained examinations of key but sometimes neglected aspects of creative writing by some of contemporary literature's finest practioners. InThe Art of Time in Memoir, critic and memoirist Sven Birkerts examines the human impulse to write about the self. By examining memoirs such as Vladimir Nabokov'sSpeak, Memory; Virginia Woolf's unfinishedA Sketch of the Past; and Mary Karr'sThe Liars' Club, Birkerts describes the memoirist's essential art of assembling patterns of meaning, stirring to life our own sense of past and present.
