I always say the memoir writer suffers two points of exposure, first the writing, then then life. Critiques, interest, even voyeurism all collect around the latter mostly, rather than the writing. I would have it more about the writing if I could, but for various reasons, people (especially people not in the writing business) tend to think that in writing a memoir, you have tilted your head over the computer, and the information just came tumbling out. You didn’t write it really; you just told it.
