Memoir by G Thomas Couser
A compact, pithy guide to the most popular form of life-writing, Memoir: An Introduction provides a primer to the ubiquitous literary form and its many subgenres.
Couser has carved out a place on the reading list of any undergraduate life writing module as well as in any bibliography where the classification of genre is a concern.. the book thoughtfully introduces the theoretical foundations upon which the contemporary study of life writing rests; not least of these is the idea that selves are not recorded in life writing but constructed therein. * Claire Lynch, Modern Language Review *
