A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"A compelling sourcebook for all writers interested in putting their life stories down on paper . . . at once encouraging, forceful, and thoroughly convincing."
—Booklist

"Your Life as Story is like a French dessert: rich and luscious, to be slowly devoured and savored for all it offers."
—Writers Connection

"A book both practical and inspiring. Rainer knows how to shape autobiography into art, and she shares this knowledge with clairty, enthusiasm, and a knack for choosing writers' words that best illustrate her point."
—Bernard Cooper, personal essayist and memoirist, author of Maps to Anywhere and Truth Serum Memoirs
