| | AlterNet: Rise of the "Nobody" Memoir |
 | | His memoir addresses God, retelling his life through the prism of his newfound faith, reflecting on his sins, begging forgiveness. | | | By the time of Rousseau's Confessions in 1782, the memoir had become a mimetic narrative; the plot as meandering as life, the reckoning with God, one of many reckonings. | | | But editors and publicists point out that the business of nobody memoirs is really not all that different from that of the first-time novel, with one important marketing distinction: You can sometimes book a first-time nobody memoirist on NPR, Morning Edition, Dateline and the like, while you can't book a first-time novelist. |

| | This memoir includes McGahern's memories of Dublin in the 1960s, his time as a schoolteacher, and his sacking for writing a banned book (his second novel, "The Dark"). | | | He found his way to the life of the mind, and a dream that he could himself write stories in which language and feeling mattered as much as the form of the tale. | | | It can be read and enjoyed in its own right but there is an additional pleasure in seeing the scattered pieces of his fiction assembling themselves into a single coherent shape. |

| | Memoir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As a literary genre, a memoir forms a subclass of autobiography. | | | Memoirs may appear less structured and less encompassing than formal autobiographical works as they are usually about part of a life – often a public part of a life – rather than a life from childhood to old age. | | | Recently, however, several American professional writers such as David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs and Dave Eggers have become famous almost solely for writing interesting or amusing memoirs. |
