Memoir Writing
The late Frank McCourt did not invent the memoir but the success of his childhood story,Angela's Ashes, caused a boom in memoir writing which continues today.
Current memoirs worth taking a look at include Christopher Buckley's Losing Mum and Pup--an account of his celebrated parents' life. Also, Joe Queenan's Closing Time--another well-wriiten story of an impoverished childhood--this time in Philadelphia..
A memoir-writing program is scheduled for Sunday, September 13th at 2:00, here, at the library. Frank McCourt advised everyone to "tell your story". Come to this program and learn how to tell yours.
