| Abstract |
|
Fiction and memoir relate differently to reality. Whereas fiction is not bound by existing facts and events, memoir is a nonfiction genre that “depicts the lives of real, not imagined, individuals.” Like other forms of life writing, memoir sets out to communicate truthfully through self-representation an identity and a life. Indeed, memoir is said to “not accommodate the counterfactual.” Thus, memoir is bound not only by a claim, but also an obligation to truth that, in turn, is met by readers who turn to it with an eye for truth.
