  • Negative bias towards memoir

    In the interview of Rachel Aviv with Harriet Clark about the novel The Hill, Aviv states that “a less skilled writer would have written a memoir…” please don’t perpetuate this rampant bias in the writing world that fiction requires more skill than memoir. It’s pervasive and untrue and disrespectful to the incredible memoirists such as Joan Didion, Melissa Febos, Elie Wiesel. Please be more professional and resist the urge to debase memoir as less than.
