There is the wounded nine-year-old you, still (because childhood can be so searingly painful) aching after all of these years. There is the angry teenage you, still needing somehow to rebel, to lash out. There is the twenty-something you who finally recognized how much pain and anger there was in your childhood and what seemed normal to the youngster was neither normal nor healthy. And perhaps there is the forty-three or sixty-three-year-old you, sitting at the desk, trying to explain and explore the memories that somehow never go away. Whose perspective are you going to bring to the [story]? That is not a simple question\u2014there is no right or wrong answer\u2026There is no reason to tackle a subject, even your own life story, if you are not seeking understanding, looking to learn something, asking questions to which you do not know the answer.\u201d That is what will make the work interesting to the reader, and that is what will make the process worthwhile for you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the recent issues of &quot;Poets &amp; Writers&quot; magazine also broached the topic in an article by William Giraldi:&#0160;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>\u201c\u2026there\u2019s never been a consummately honest memoir, that all memoirs are fictionalized to one degree or another. The memory\u2019s intrinsic fallibility makes an accurate book unattainable from the word go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Happily, complete honesty is not the point of it. If the impossibility of complete honesty ever stopped us, no one would ever tell a story to anybody&#8211;ever. Language is fallible but do you stop speaking?
