On Memoir: An A-Z of Life Writing

A delightful compendium of musings from the master of life writing, the much-loved Blake Morrison, for those who practise the art of memoir, and those who read it.

'Hallelujah! — now is the perfect time for Morrison’s book On Memoir' THE TIMES

'Lessons in life writing from a master' THE GUARDIAN

'The critic every literary editor turns to… an essential reference book' THE SPECTATOR

ON MEMOIR is a gloriously freewheeling exploration of narrative non-fiction, its challenges, ethics and charms, and its power to move and change us.

From AI to Ethics to Politics to Sex, there is something for every reader and writer in this modern classic.

Gleaned from a lifetime as a passionate reader of others’ lives, as well as an unflinchingly honest chronicler of his own, Morrison’s A-Z is a trove of thoughtful literary exploration, amusing observations, and fascinating finds.
