The Act of Self-Confrontation in Memoir | Led by Deborah Jackson Taffa

If you weren’t frightened by what others might think, what story would you tell? In this two-series class, we’ll explore the act of ethical remembering, how to create characters out of your people, and how to build a persona for yourself. Through close readings, craft lessons, and discussion, we will explore your subjective lens, the role of fear and honesty in memoir, and the importance of honoring your nesting dolls and/or former selves. We’ll examine the impulse (and pitfalls) of cautionary tales and discuss the role of counterintuitive insights in finding greater contexts for your story.
