Today Margaret and Paige are investigating truth! What does it mean to write an autobiography, memoir, or auto-fiction? What does it mean to write truthfully? To put your memory on the page? We've realized that much of the discussion about this focuses on teaching students to write their own memoirs--but not how to critically read and evaluate one. We discuss constructions of identity performances on the page, the ethics of sharing your life, and the different genres for writing memories. Do you include any memoirs or works of autofiction in your own courses? How do you teach them? We'd love to hear from you on Twitter (@Literaturely101), Instagram (LiteraturelyPodcast), or email (literaturelypodcast@gmail.com).
We are addicted to prediction, desperate for certainty about the future. But the complexity of modern life won’t provide that; experts in forecasting are reluctant to look more than 400 days out. History doesn’t repeat itself and even genetics won’t tell you everything you want to know. Today Margaret joins the show to discuss her new book, Uncharted, How to Navigate the Future, in which she drew on a wide array of people and places, to look at long-term projects developed over generations that could never have been planned the way that they have been run.
