While autobiographies are often written by ghosts, memoirs are often written to exorcise them. In this episode Seamus and Blake discuss memoirs, that narrative genre which hangs in the liminal shelves between fiction and non-fiction.
Some of the books touched upon in this episode include:
- "The Naked Civil Servant" by Quentin Crisp
- "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou
- "Hitch-22" by Christopher Hitchens
- "Wind, Sand and Stars" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
- "Henry & June" by Anaïs Nin
- "A Moveable Feast" by Ernest Hemingway
- "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson
- "Adolph Hitler, My Part in His Downfall" by Spike Milligan
