Great memoirs implicitly tackle the subject of identity, weaving together a cohesive self from a jumble of experiences, influences and, yes, imperfect memories.

Stick around after the event for a book signing with Kiese Laymon, Dani Shapiro, and Richard Blanco. Presented in partnership with Aspen Words.
