Descriere magazin:
Some of the country\'s most admired authors--including Andre Dubus III, Mark Doty, Marianne Leone, Michael Patrick MacDonald, Richard Blanco, Abigail Thomas, Kate Bornstein, Jerald Walker, and Kyoko Mori--describe their treks through dark memories and breakthrough moments and attest to the healing power of putting words to experience. What does it take to write an honest memoir? And what happens to us when we embark on that journey? Melanie Brooks sought guidance from the memoirists who most moved her to answer these questions. Called an essential book for creative writers by Poets & Writers, Writing Hard Stories is a unique compilation of authentic stories about the death of a partner, parent, or child; about violence and shunning; and about the process of writing.

If what you want is clarity and meaning, you have to break the secrets over your knee and make something of those ingredients.--Abigail Thomas What we remember and how we remember it really tells us how we became who we became.--Michael Patrick MacDonald The reason I write memoir is to be able to see the experience itself...I hardly know what I think until I write...Writing is a way to organize your life, give it a frame, give it a structure, so that you can really see what it was that happened.--Sue William Silverman After a while in the process, you have some distance and you start thinking of it as a story, not as your story...It was a personal gri
