My First Piece of Memoir — Recently Chosen to Premier a New York Times Feature
THERE ARE ALMOST NO WORDS to describe how exquisitely happy I am to have a magazine piece of mine be chosen as the very first story showcased in a new online New York Times feature. The first piece of memoir I ever published, now thirty years ago, it is also the piece for which I am best known. What an honor to see it here. And what a surprise. I had no idea this was in the works. Enjoy.
Fantastic! Good writing stands the test of time.
Congratulations for being recognized for this book again. It is a timeless piece of work that is as educational as it is heartbreaking. I have never read a science article that was as memorable or educational on disease. I think it is a testament to your life’s work on bringing well written memoir to the forefront. Thank you.
Marion – I am so thrilled for you! Powerful writing has no expiration date.
Best first line ever.
Congratulations! Love writing that stands the test of time (especially in the digital age!)
