Description: The Art Of Time In Memoir by Sven Birkerts Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Art Of series is a new line of books reinvigorating the practice of craft and criticism. Each book will be a brief, witty, and useful exploration of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry by a writer impassioned by a singular craft issue. The Art Of volumes will provide a series of sustained examinations of key but sometimes neglected aspects of creative writing by some of contemporary literature's finest practioners. In "The Art of Time in Memoir", critic and memoirist Sven Birkerts examines the human impulse to write about the self. By examining memoirs such as Vladimir Nabokov's "Speak, Memory"; Virginia Woolf's unfinished "A Sketch of the Past"; and Mary Karr's "The Liars' Club", Birkerts describes the memoirist's essential art of assembling patterns of meaning, stirring to life our own sense of past and present. Publisher Description Memoir is, for better and often for worse, the genre of our times, Birkerts writes. This piece of elegant literary criticism seeks to understand what makes some memoirs memorable and others self-serving. Birkerts argues that the memoirists strategies for presenting the subjective experience of time reveal the power and resonance of the writers life. By examining Virginia Woolfs A Sketch of the Past, and Mary Karrs The Liars Club, Birkerts describes the memoirists essential art of assembling patterns of meaning. Author Biography Sven Birkerts is the author of Reading Life: Books for the Ages, Readings, The Gutenberg Elegies, and a memoir, My Sky Blue Trades.
