 What is it about the memoir that forces it, in spite of its many wonderful achievements, always to stand in the docket? Was it ever thus, or is it our age that feels especially defensive, apologetic, and guilt-ridden about the practice of the genre? We can only begin reckoning with such questions by placing the memoir in historical perspective, which is exactly what Ben Yagoda has done with his timely, useful, and informative study. As Yagoda reconstructs the genre’s family tree from spiritual autobiography to its still proliferating offspring, he tries with varying degrees of success to trace the deeper logic linking these seemingly disparate texts.
An analysis of the memoir as a literary art form considers stories written by some of the world's most famous contributors while examining the controversial nature of the fraudulent memoir and its role in shaping collective memories. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
