5.0 out of 5 stars
Extremely well-written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Memory and Narrative: The Weave of Life-Writing (Paperback)
The reviewer from Kirkus must have read this book through eyeglasses smeared with vaseline. Olney's prose is a model of clarity, which is wonderful, because what he has to say is utterly absorbing and interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars
wonderfully erudite study of the history of life-writing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Memory and Narrative: The Weave of Life-Writing (Hardcover)
This is a wonderfully wide-ranging and learned exploration of the history of life-writing. Olney's style is always lucid, elegant, and patient; he reads subtly and well, teasing meaning out of passages in Augustine, Rousseau, and Beckett that you might have thought were tapped out by now.
