Works about this Work

Dreaming of Creativity : Imaging and Imagining the Creative Self in Memoir Donna Lee Brien , 2020 single work criticism
— Appears in: M/C Journal , vol. 23 no. 1 2020;

'Where can creative people find models of creativity and possible creative selves? How do they find examples of how others have imaged and imagined the creative identity that they dream of inhabiting? This discussion focuses on book-length memoirs written by creative writers, surveying these texts as a sub-genre of popular memoir and seeking to contribute to understanding of both the creative self and practices of writing about creative process and creative identity. A number of published book-length memoirs include discussion of the creative process and creativity. Despite memoir being a popular and enduring category of popular literature, such works have not been investigated as a group. Nor, with rare exceptions, have individual memoirs in this group received significant critical or scholarly attention.' (Introduction)
