A review by andforgotten
The Situation and the Story: The Art of Personal Narrative by Vivian Gornick

4.0

Such an insightful intelligent book; it felt like reading something academic for university, but the style is so enjoyable it reads very pleasantly. I loved the fact that Gornick includes large passages from essays and memoirs to analyse, which has given me a better understanding of the genres as well as a new interest in them.
