Where memory ends and craft begins. We read memoir and argue about how much invention it can hold before it becomes something else. This is a Chaptra house club — set up and moderated by us to get the conversation going. Open to everyone; jump in anywhere.

Reconstructed dialogue: acceptable or not?

Quotation marks around words nobody can verify. Standard practice, and quietly strange when you look straight at it.

Acceptable with a note at the front saying it's been done. Almost every objection to memoir dissolves if the author states their method once.
