GLS 542 - Creative Non-Fiction: Memoir and Truth-Telling

Course Description: An exploration of how authors compose their lives, construct an identity - and create a somewhat coherent self often against enormous personal, societal, and cultural obstacles, focusing on how memory and imagination, history and fiction, fact and invention intersect in the act of creating a self, and of engaging in a meaningful and/or complicated relationship with the past - a past that inevitably weaves itself into the present.
