Coup de coeur
(Life Events), by Flora
Writing memoir and processing trauma are two distinct practices, however, in this fascinating investigation of the art of writing about one's own experiences, Febos outlines a striking number of similarities. No, she says, we haven't had enough books about the female experience, about trauma, about one person's personal journey. Indeed, in both the process of reading and writing such narratives, both the reader and the author can learn to know themselves once more. And what could be more valuable than that?
In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and writing master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it. -- .
