Abstract:
Memoir, that landscape bordered by memory and imagination, has become the signature genre of our age. In this timely gathering, Patricia Hampl moves back and forth between a series of story-like recollections and essays in which she considers who she has been "enchanted or bedeviled" by autobiographical writing--her own and others'.
