A Memoir in Time

I started writing what I described below as "an autobiography with time," but a memoir is more like it. It's now "in time." The idea is to place the personal within an unfolding context and note, when possible, how it influenced personal experience and, equally, how it was understood in light of personal experience. Reading my daughter Elizabeth Snowden's senior project, On the Verge, inspired me to start working on it. (I've posted some excerpts from her project on Notes: Projects.) I finished the prologue and the first section, and am now in the midst of the second. This may end up in Common Place, the fourth installment of which is overdue.
