| We are delighted to announce that we will be offering signed and (if desired) dedicated copies of Lily Dunn’s new book on the craft of memoir, Into Being.
The book is published in October, but we are offering pre-orders from our website via the link below. You can request a dedication with your pre-order, or just a signed copy. |
| Lily has been a great friend to the shop since we opened. She featured in our first ever author event, discussing her earlier book, Sins of My Father. She has interviewed several writers for us since then, and is always thoughtful, astute and generous in conversation. Her writing brings all of that to bear, deftly supporting a fierce honesty. This book will be fascinating. |
| The acclaimed author of Sins of My Father shares the secrets of writing a new, transformative kind of memoir.
Into being is an essential guide to writing memoir in a radical and empowering way. Drawing on her experience as a memoirist and a teacher of creative writing, Lily Dunn presents the ground-breaking idea that the craft of memoir itself can offer a form of transformation.
Dunn demystifies the memoirist’s art, helping readers to find meaning in raw experience and elevate the personal to the universal. She considers intriguing questions, from why our memories give greater significance to certain events to how we can write honestly without intruding too far into the lives of our loved ones. She also explores how writers are extending the memoir form to create something hybrid, playful and subversive.
In an age of social media, filled with confessions, re-inventions and distortions of the self, the question of what it means to be an individual is more urgent than ever. Into being shows readers how to turn writing memoir into a journey of discovery – one that can be shared with the whole world. |
