Genre-Bending in Memoir [Nicole Hardy] — Cancelled

We’ll read and discuss examples of nontraditional memoir in an effort to better understand what it means to write about the self. Using examples like Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, Nick Flynn’s Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, and JoAnne Beard’s The Boys of My Youth, we’ll explore how essay, poetry, and autobiographical comics have contributed to the ever-changing, much-maligned genre of memoir.
