The word "memoir" literally means to remember in French, but it has morphed into one of the most popular literary genres today. We will be primarily considered with literary memoir. That is, we will not focus on the memoirs of Valerie Bertinelli or a Bravo Housewife, but of writers who have carefully crafted their stories. Some of the questions we will consider are: What is the difference between memoir and autobiography? What are the ethics involved with writing memoir? What elements (dialogue, scene, description) go into crafting a memoir? How truthful is memoir? How do experienced writers render their memoirs? Most importantly we will write, write, write. Instead of a typical writing workshop class, where the main focus is on critique, we will spend much of our time generating material and studying the material from published authors. Although work shopping will be a part of our class, it will not take center stage. Because memoir can come dangerously close to a practice in navel-gazing, we'll take the time to experiment and write enough, so that we will discover material that matters.
