As a creative nonfiction genre, memoirs are most often associated with linear storytelling. The author recounts their life in sequential chapters, painting a clear arc of growth, perhaps even arriving at some hard-fought clarity or wisdom about identity, passion, loss, and life’s purpose. While many creatives embrace and hone this familiar chronological structure to satisfying self-reflective ends, some of the most triumphant and innovative examples of narrative nonfiction are found in experimental memoirs, which embody the fraught and slippery nature of memory and meaning.
