Memoir: A History

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yagoda, Ben, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, From a critically acclaimed cultural and literary critic, a definitive history and analysis of ong>theong> memoir. From Saint Augustine's "Confessions" to Augusten Burroughs's "Running with Scissors," from Julius Caesar to Ulysses Grant, from Mark Twain to David Sedaris, ong>theong> art of memoir has had a fascinating life, and deserves its own biography. Cultural and literary critic Ben Yagoda traces ong>theong> memoir from its birth in early Christian writings and Roman generals' journals all ong>theong> way ong>upong> to ong>theong> banner year of , which saw memoirs from and about dogs, rock stars, bad dads, good dads, alternadads, waitresses, George Foreman, Iranian women, and a slew of oong>theong>r illustrious persons (and animals). In a time when memoir seems ubiquitous and is still highly controversial, Yagoda tackles ong>theong> autobiography and memoir in all its forms and iterations. He discusses ong>theong> fraudulent memoir and provides many examples from ong>theong> past-and addresses ong>theong> ramifications and consequences of ong>theong>se books. Spanning decades and nations, styles and subjects, he analyzes ong>theong> hallmark memoirs of ong>theong> Western tradition-Rousseau, Ben Franklin, Henry Adams, Gertrude Stein, Edward Gibbon, among oong>theong>rs. Yagoda also describes historical trends, such as Native American captive memoirs, slave narratives, courtier dramas (where one had to pay to NOT be included in a courtesan's memoir). Throughout, ong>theong> idea of memory and truth, how we remember and how well we remember lives, is intimately explored. Yagoda's elegant examination of memoir is at once a history of literature and taste, and an absorbing glimpse into what humans find interesting-one anoong>theong>r.
