I love explaining this. How I came to write memoir instead of fiction. it is because memoir is bearing witness to the fact you’re not in control but by telling the story you stay awake. You’re watching your life. So that’s what memoir is. And it’s a great therapy that I would recommend to everyone.

To practise the art of storytelling, and memoir, and bearing witness to your life, is a way of becoming very awake about your life and about the fact that you are in it but you’re not writing it.

So who writes your story. There's a big question.
