message 1: by Janet (new)

Janet Chapman (gajanet) | 1 comments I am looking for recommendations of memoirs that have unusual formats. I am especially interested in those that may be a combination of poetry, essays, short stories, and that include photos or illustrations, and not necessarily presented in chronological order, but tied together by some type of theme. The only thing I've come across along these lines is I Miss You When I Blink by Mary Laura Philpot. Other suggestions? Thanks in advance -
Janet

Shreyasi Desai | 8 comments I would HIGHLY recommend In the Dreamhouse by Carmen Maria Machado whose entire memoir about being in an abusive lesbian relationship is told exclusively through metaphor. It is very difficult to explain, but has a highly intelligent structure, and is just as engrossing...
