thinking about memoir book




a three dog life memoir


"Abigail Thomas is a brilliant writer whose stories and memoirs I have loved for a long time. Now she has written a brilliant book about creating stories and memoirs, that is also a kind of memoir, rich with stories that made me sigh, laugh, wince with recognition, and actually even want to write. It is beautiful, charming, funny, painful, and will be of indescribable value and inspiration to anyone who wants to write anything."
ANNE LAMOTT


Abigail Thomas's new book, Thinking About Memoir was published by Sterling, April 2008.
