Today saw my latest episode of my podcast Tiny Acts of Bravery with @daniwriter go live for my subscribers over on @substack - and if you’re interested in memoir and life writing, this is definitely a conversation for you. I’d been wanting to talk to Dani Shapiro for some time, for many reasons, but in part because she, like me, is a serial memoirist. She has written four, beautiful, expansive memoirs - Slow Motion, Devotion, Hourglass and Inheritance - in addition to her prize winning novels. I spoke to her from her home in Connecticut, and our conversation was everything I hoped it would be. We discussed, among other things, family secrets, the long term effects of trauma, and when to share the bad as well as the good, even when that feels uncomfortable. I’d love to know what you think 🧡
