“Should I write from the point of view of the child I once was, or o the adult I am
now? The strongest memoirs, I think, are those that preserve the unity of a
remembered time and place:
To write about your younger years from the wiser perspective of your older years-
that memoir will have its own integrity. But these are two different kinds of
writing. Choose one.”
