Memoir Tutorials with Mary Karr, Lena Dunham, and Gary Shteyngart

by Mary Karr, September 15, 2015 9:00 AM
Editor's note: It's been 20 years since the groundbreaking memoir The Liars' Club sent Mary Karr into the literary spotlight with its phenomenal success and widespread acclaim. Since then, Karr has gone on to publish two more bestselling memoirs — Cherry and Lit — and has mentored such revered authors as Cheryl Strayed and Koren Zailckas. In her new book, The Art of Memoir, Karr turns her attention to the memoir form itself and offers an illuminating guide to the essential elements of the craft.

 

As supplements to the new book, we're thrilled to present a selection of "Memoir Tutorial" videos, courtesy of HarperBooks. In the first piece, Mary Karr addresses the triumphs and challenges of the literary memoir genre. In the other two pieces, authors Lena Dunham and Gary Shteyngart discuss the memoir in general and Karr's work in the genre.

We hope you enjoy this exclusive video premier!
