What a great read, Gianni. My WiP is a novella-length piece of autofiction with a posthumous narrator, told through flashbacks, vignettes, poems and a conversational through line which may be a book designer's delight or nightmare. Still, I mention it because I identified so much with this piece, particularly with the line 'Memory itself isn't a recording, it's a reconstruction'. To me, that's true not only for stories, but also for our sense of self.
Hey Lindy, appreciate the kind words, as always. Interesting your parallel between memory being a reconstruction and your approach to the book. I admire authors who have the courage to “break the rules” and experiment with new formats.
So true...thank you!
Glad it resonated, Erika.
