Today we are pleased to feature author Sam Gridley as our Authors Talk series contributor.
Sam discusses the role of memory in autobiographical fiction. In particular, he mentions how the importance of memory–or the lack of it–contributed to his story published in Issue 2 and then later, in his novel The Shame of What We Are.
Most importantly, Sam advises that readers should not assume that the story is “strictly true to the author’s memory.”
You can read Sam’s story in Superstition Review Issue 2. You can also visit his website to learn more about him and his publications.
