An exploration of narrative non-fiction, its challenges, ethics and charms, and its power to move and change us. From AI to ethics to politics to sex, there is something for every reader and writer in this modern classic.
A delightful compendium of musings from the master of life writing, the much-loved Blake Morrison, for those who practise the art of memoir, and those who read it.
Gleaned from a lifetime as a passionate reader of others’ lives, as well as an unflinchingly honest chronicler of his own, Morrison’s A-Z is a trove of thoughtful literary exploration, amusing observations, and fascinating finds. A modern classic from the greatest memoirist of his generation – essential reading.
