About the book

This guide to writing memoirs and first-person essays shows how to write by showing how to read and recognize the truth in the writing of others. The book, which grew out of the author's 15 years of teaching in M.F.A. programs, demonstrates the enduring truth speaker to be found in the work of well-known and less-know writers including Oscar Wilde.
