Reading Group VI: The Art of Memoirs

This reading group will read 8 unique memoirs. We will talk about memoirs as a literary form. The memoirs we read offer a diverse array of settings, experiences, and forms. We will notice the uses of narration, reflection, the changing shape of memories, and how the authors put their experiences into perspective for themselves and for the readers. Through reading the experiences of others, we hope to not only gain more empathy, but think about our own stories in new ways.
