I've been delving more into memoir and so... just getting it out is the first step.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-39652046731653377332016-10-12T21:45:51.152-05:002016-10-12T21:45:51.152-05:00September 8, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Mary Karr at SLCL.
...September 8, 2016 at 7:00 PM - Mary Karr at SLCL.<br />I had it on my calendar, Linda, circled, so I wouldn't miss it.<br />Friday morning I checked my calendar and noticed what I had missed.<br />Thursday evening was a blur, probably did nothing of import. <br />I'm so glad you wrote about her and views on memoir. I got her Art of Memoir from the library, read it (most of it), love the way she writes. And yes, she sounds tough, outspoken, gets right to what she wants to say. After reading her book, I don't think I have the guts to write about me. That's hard work, as you know.<br />I totally agree with one of her thoughts that you mentioned: "Truth is what you remember, but truth of memory is not history." <br />I am sorry I missed her appearance, but grateful you resurrected part of the evening for me.

(I'm the only one in my family who has a blog, for instance. They think it's too public. ha!) Anyway, Linda, thanks for all your visits, too.

I also picked up four others, (fiction) so I may have to renew it a time or two ;) <br />Glad you got to see and hear Mary. I considered it, but have really gotten lazy about driving so far, especially in the evenings. BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.com
