Inventing the Truth: The Art and Craft of Memoir by William Zinsser

Another book read for a class. Inventing the Truth is a collection of interviews with writers about their experiences writing memoir. The best by far was Jill Kee Conway's "Points of Departure." Otherwise, more like a collection of promotional materials for books then a book itself. As someone whose life fantasies include reading the entire New York Times Sunday Book Review section every week, this is not entirely damning praise, but it still felt like the pyramid scheme of reading.
