On Memoir

On Memoir: An A-Z of Life Writing
published by Borough Press, Harper Collins, April 9th 2026, £16.99
A compendium of musings from a master of life writing for those who practise the art of memoir, and those who read it. The book is a gloriously freewheeling exploration of narrative non-fiction, its challenges, ethics and charms, and its power to move and change us. From AI to Ethics to Politics to Sex, there is something for every reader and writer in this modern classic. Gleaned from a lifetime as a passionate reader of others’ lives, as well as an unflinchingly honest chronicler of his own, Morrison’s A-Z is a trove of thoughtful literary exploration, amusing observations, and fascinating finds.
