Life Stories: Wilmers and Harding on Memoir
How do writers investigate their own pasts and shape them into a narrative, one which other people will find interesting? What are the particular pleasures, and pitfalls, of this kind of writing? Join Jeremy Harding, the author of the memoir Mother Country and a contributing editor for the London Review of Books, and Mary-Kay Wilmers, the paper's editor, whose book The Eitingons was published in April.
