Autobiography: Writing About Yourself

In this program, Joseph Bathanti examines, through his own published work and other texts, strategies of “telling” that have come to be known as autobiographical. The focus of this program is on how the idiosyncratic “I”  and the human eye connect a writer to experiences. He explores how and where “truth” and imagination intersect to create transformation, universality, and what William Gass calls being “jointly human.”
