Since the early 1990s, tens of thousands of memoirs, by celebrities and unknowns alike, have been published, sold, and read by millions of American readers. The memoir boom has been w elcomed, vilified, and dismissed in the popular press. But is there really a boom in memoir production in North America? If so, what is causing it? Are all memoirs written by narcissistic hacks for an unthinking public, or do they indicate a growing need to understand world events through personal experiences? This study seeks to answer these questions by examining memoir as an industrial product like any other, something that publishers and booksellers help to create. These texts become part of mass culture, where they are connected to public events. The genre of memoir, and even genre itself, ceases to be an empty classification category and becomes part of social action and consumer culture at the same time. From James Frey s controversial A Million Little Pieces to memoirs about bartending, Iran, the liberation of Dachau, computer hacking, and the impact of 9/11, this book argues that the memoir boom is more than a publishing trend. It is becoming the w ay American readers try to understand major events in terms of individual experiences. The memoir boom is one of the w ays that citizenship as a category of belonging between private and public spheres is now articulated.
