dc.description.abstract

This project examines autobiographical writing and the ways in which some authors use memoir as a vehicle to convey and communicate childhood trauma. Mary Anna King’s Bastards, Dorothy Allison’s Two or Three Things I Know For Sure and Wendy Lawless’ Chanel Bonfire are the texts I use to explore how writers, through the particular alchemy of truth and literature, transform heartrending stories into something meaningful for the rest of us.
