As I was reading your list of craft suggestions, Charlie, I was thinking about the memoir “She’s Not There” by Jennifer Finney Boylan. I use it to teach personal narratives to teenagers: if you haven’t read it, it’s such a good example of some of what you named here and great humor writing, too!

I am very proud of the fact that I have not been sitting on the goldmine of Bleecker Bombs and have listened to every single episode and I am so excited about this official transition to Memoir Snob! Apparently not knowing when you'll decide to stop reading memoirs and go back to Bleecker Bombs was causing me anxiety because when I read about Memoir Snob I just took a huge deep breath! hahah. Now I know it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks for doing what you do Charlie. I have recommended the podcast to so many friends!

Love this update! And really like the new name “Memoir Snob” - so cool, I’m super pumped about the recaps of the podcasts too. I re-listen to them a lot to remember the take-aways!

It’s of great importance that you pin pointed and gave an elaborate detailed description of your memoir.All I see is that they are always of good reference of what has happened to one at a time or another.Also,an idea or clue privilege for future reference.Waiting to see more!

Charlie, thanks for taking the time to lay it out there for folks like me - who weren't paying attention. I look forward to your podcasts and learning from them! And more importantly I look forward to your memoir.
