Biographies and memoirs record the traces of a person's life. The imperative to write a memoir or autobiography is, to begin with, intimate and personal. We are all moved by the need to render the welter of our experiences in meaningful form, locate ourselves in time and space, resist evanescence and erosions of memory, craft a memento of ourselves for family and friends that, while simple, may yet prove enduring.
