Book Overview

by William Sulit (Illustrator), Beth Kephart (Author)

Consequential Truths: On Writing the Lived Life takes a deep look at the profound questions facing the memoir writer.

How do we write with power and integrity about the others in our lives? What do experimentations in form-the braid, the collage, the prose poem, the extended suppose, the memoir in essays, the non-memoir-teach us about the stories we have to tell? How do our kitchen tales, our losses, our relationships become fully dimensional scenes? How does an anecdote become a story? Does writing have to be a zero-sum game? How do we know when we're done?

Illustrated throughout by the artist William Sulit, showcasing the work of dozens of writers and offering an array of prompts, Consequential Truths also features Beth Kephart's own thinking about the work she has created-the strategies she has leaned on as she has worked to overcome her own creative challenges.
