In real life, for example, I don’t speak or write e-mails using carefully crafted language. One way to accomplish this exploration of self is through the use of voice-but not one’s everyday voice. Just as we are complex people in real life, we must be equally complex personas on the page-albeit artistically rendered. To that end, the “I” in memoir is a literary device used to enhance and explore these complicated truths. In fact, for a memoir to be successful, it needs a narrative voice that examines a full range of what we experience and feel as human beings. A common assumption is that memoir is something like a diary, a series of remembrances of what happened, presented in chronological order.
Emoir is not as straight-forward as it appears at first glance.
