In this session of the Writers CAFÉ, we discussed chapter 23 to the end of the book, pages 193-229 and more specifically, the following book and discussion questions:

• Book discussion – chapter 23- end of the book
  • Pages 221-226 – more than 300 books, most memoirs, Karr recommends reading
    • How many of these books have you read? Does one book stand out in your memory? Why?
    • What book from this list might you read next? Why?

• Discussion question
  • Our life stories include pain. How do you approach writing about pain? What is your process in writing painful situations? How do you take care of yourself when reliving pain on the page?
