Spring Semester Memoirs are about “actual lives”; fiction is about “invented livesnyone who writes inevitably draws upon his or her own experience. The feelings as dramatized in the stories are amalgamations created in the foundry of imagination and experience. By the same token, memoirs are representations of lives as filtered through a writer’s emotions subjected to self-denial, blind spots, self-justification, or self-delusion. On this level of meaning, then, fiction and memoir can both be said to be inventions. Yet they clearly have different functions, and different emphases that make them appealing in different ways. And, too, there are classic instances of the merging of fiction and memoir, as in Orwell’s essays, and Tim O’Brien’ The Things They Carried. The work of this course is to explore, through reading, writing and discussion, the shifting boundary between these two forms of presenting experience to readers.
