This call for papers for an edited edition urges scholars from around the globe to find and describe the practice of writing and reading memoir within their own borders as a cultural phenomenon. How does it differ from country to country? How has it evolved? What are the ethical constraints of different countries? Who are each nation’s unique memoirists?

200-word chapter abstracts should be sent to Sue Joseph at sue.joseph@uts.edu.au by July 30, 2016. Selected contributions (5-6,000 words) will be confirmed by September 30, 2016.

For potential topics and how to submit, see the Call for Papers.
