Memoir as Springboard to Cultural Snapshot

debbiekanafani.jpgEarlier this month, I told you about memoirist Deborah Kanafani, whose mediabistro.com class on nonfiction book writing begins this Thursday. Today, Kanafani talks with mbToolbox about writing her memoir, Unveiled, as an effort to tell the stories of other wives of political figures in the Middle East. “I wanted to write about other people,” she says, “but the publishers pushed for my own story to be the narrative thread, as an American that the reader could relate to. It was a difficult process—I had to tell many different stories and incorporate various themes.”
