The Art Of Time In Memoir : Then, Again - Thryft

Artful memoirs resonate powerfully for contemporary readers.

"The Art of Time in Memoir" would be a great read for anyone who enjoys memoirs or wants to improve their own memoir writing. Through the analysis of Virginia Woolf's "A Sketch of the Past" and Mary Karr's "The Liars' Club," Birkerts delves into the art of assembling patterns of meaning and how successful memoirs present the subjective experience of time. This book would be perfect for aspiring writers or anyone interested in understanding the power of memoir as a literary genre.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.In The 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's Speak, Memory ; Virginia Woolf's unfinished A Sketch of the Past ; and Mary Karr's The Liars' Club , Birkerts describes the memoirist's essential art of assembling patterns of meaning, stirring to life our own sense of past and present.
