Many of you have e-mailed me to say you have not yet gotten our textbook, TRUTH OF THE MATTER. Please be sure to get the book right away and complete the readings and prompts. We'll push the prompt deadline to next week, but only this once. The book is available in our bookstore, on Amazon and elsewhere.
Tonight, in place of our prompts-discussion, I'll give a lecture against navel gazing, one of the common complaints about contemporary nonfiction/memoir.
The lecture includes a discussion of fake memoirs, as well as an introduction to Amy Krouse Rosenthal, whose book, AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AN ORDINARY LIFE, we'll be reading soon.
There will be a short quiz on the lecture next week, so please be present in class tonight and take notes.
