The Rise of the Memoir traces the growth and extraordinarily wide appeal of the memoir.
Its territory is private rather than public life, shame, guilt, and embarrassment, not the
achievements celebrated in the public record. What accounts for the sharp need writers like
Rousseau, Woolf, Orwell, Nabokov, Primo Levi, and Maxine Hong Kingston felt to write
(and to publish) such works, when they might more easily have chosen to remain silent ?
Alex Zwerdling explores why each of these writers felt they had to write them—that they
had no choice—as that story can be reconstructed from personal materials available in
archival collections; what internal conflicts they encountered while trying; and how each
of them resisted the private and public pressures to stop themselves rather than pursuing
this confessional route, against their own doubts, without a reasonable expectation that
such works would be welcome in print, and eventually find an empathetic audience.
Reconstructing this process in which a dubious project eventually becomes a compelling
product—a memoir that will last—illuminates both what was at stake, and why this
serially invented open form has reshaped the expectations of readers who welcomed a
vital alternative to £the official story.
