Memoirs Unlimited: Developing My Syllabus

http://memoirsunlimited.blogspot.com/2015/08/developing-my-syllabus.html

21 Lothrop Street, Beverly, MA 01915 / Phone 978-985-3206 / E-mail websterb[at]memoirsunlimited[dot]com. August 2, 2015. As I’ve written. I am teaching a course on memoir for the first time this fall. My approach is for students to read one or two short excerpts from published memoirs each week; to discuss these in class; then to apply the lessons learned by writing reflective personal pieces about their own lives, as short as a single paragraph. In part 1, The Gift, we will read from:. Morison and Grant...

This week one of the Catholic Church’s leading writers, Fr. Robert Barron, rector of the Mundelein Seminary outside Chicago, was appointed auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

21 Lothrop Street, Beverly, MA 01915 / Phone 978-985-3206 / E-mail websterb[at]memoirsunlimited[dot]com. July 8, 2010. Lessons from Mass General. I have learned some lessons, some stories to tell. Let me begin with Richard Clarke Cabot (left). In the history of this grand hospital, he is not the most illustrious figure, but he is the one who most captured my heart, and he has been dead for over 70 years. No, I did not interview him. Maybe you've heard the famous bit of doggerel that goes:. At a time when...

Memoirs Unlimited: Telling Others’ Stories

http://memoirsunlimited.blogspot.com/2015/07/telling-others-stories.html

21 Lothrop Street, Beverly, MA 01915 / Phone 978-985-3206 / E-mail websterb[at]memoirsunlimited[dot]com. July 17, 2015. Telling Others’ Stories. A memoir is your own story, right? In thirty years of helping individuals record their memoirs, I have found that many, sometimes most of the stories people tell belong to someone else: a long-gone beloved grandparent, a father who recently died. Such a project is closer to biography. Adam could not talk or care for himself. But it is L’Arche’s p...Nouwen patter...

Memoirs Unlimited: What is the Right Age for a Memoir?

21 Lothrop Street, Beverly, MA 01915 / Phone 978-985-3206 / E-mail websterb[at]memoirsunlimited[dot]com. July 10, 2015. What is the Right Age for a Memoir? When I founded Memoirs Unlimited in 1987, I built my portfolio one client at a time. Self-taught and -propelled, I took some years to draw a demographic conclusion: my typical client was eighty years old! Until you hit eighty, I reasoned, you think you are going to live forever. But after eighty comes ninety and you think, what are the odds? Is pointe...

Memoirs Unlimited: My Favorite Memoirist? You Would Never Guess

21 Lothrop Street, Beverly, MA 01915 / Phone 978-985-3206 / E-mail websterb[at]memoirsunlimited[dot]com. April 27, 2015. You Would Never Guess. I am preparing to teach a seven-week adult education course on Memoirs: Reading Others, Writing Yours. My idea is for students to read and discuss famous memoirs as inspiration and guidance in writing their own. Students will keep notebooks but they will not be asked to finish writing anything—only to be inspired, only to get started. Is half the battle. As a Cat...

I sometimes joke with memoir clients that God invented time to make our job easier. When trying to decide in what order to tell and/or edit one’s life story, I say: “In the order God gave us, of course. Chronological order.”. Unfortunately, Smith plays with time in a way God never intended—cutting back and forth between his childhood and his work w...
