SUMMARY:Steve Luxenberg: DECODING THE MYSTERIES OF MEMOIR
DESCRIPTION:
 A conversation about memoir writing and the book 
 "Annie's Ghosts," the Great Michigan 
 Read for 2013-2014, by Steve Luxenberg. 
 MSU faculty memoirists Marcia Aldrich and Lev 
 Raphael join the Washington Post's Steve Luxenberg 
 to explore one of America's most popular 
 genres: the memoir. What are the sources of 
 its ever-growing audience? What makes it unique 
 and what makes it problematic? Why do so 
 many readers prefer it to contemporary fiction-what 
 are they looking for? What do authors 
 of memoirs owe their audience, and what do they 
 owe to their subjects? And finally, what 
 are the particular challenges, pitfalls, rewards, 
 and responsibilities of the memoir writer?\n
