A guide to the art of personal writing, by the author of Fierce Attachments and The End of the Novel of Love
All narrative writing must pull from the raw material of life a tale that will shape experience, transform event, deliver a bit of wisdom. In a story or a novel the I who tells this tale can be, and often is, an unreliable narrator but in nonfiction the reader must always be persuaded that the narrator is speaking truth. How does one pull from one's own boring, agitated self the truth-speaker who will tell the story a personal narrative needs to tell? That is the question The Situation and the Story asks--and answers. Taking us on a reading tour of some of the best memoirs and essays of the past hundred years, Gornick traces the changing idea of self that has dominated the century, and demonstrates the enduring truth-speaker to be found in the work of writers as diverse as Edmund Gosse, Joan Didion, Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, or Marguerite Duras. This book, which grew out of fifteen years teaching in MFA programs, is itself a model of the lucid inteligence that has made Gornick one of our most admired writers of ninfiction. In it, she teaches us to write by teaching us how to read: how to recognize truth when we hear it in the writing of others and in our own.Binding Type: Paperback

Great product

Only just received, so I haven't had the chance to test them. So far they are compatible with my skin and easy to use.

Buyer beware. For your sake read my review please.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 4)
I loved the smell which can be kind off setting especially if unscented. However the love kind of stopped there. The size of the wipe it self was not much than one of those wipes you get at the BBQ store with dinner. I do not wear foundation or heavy makeup however I had to use 3 wipes each time before I felt my skin was clean. I was excited to have the different issues of my skin dealt with as far as anti-aging, pore refining etc but there was not a single bit of difference between the wipes other than the scent which again was very spa like and pleasant. Easy to like. Small wipe. Need several. By the time you add up the added cost of the extra towels each day and I could have purchased a much higher quality product. I don't forget to look at reviews very often, but this time they sounded so positive and I went ahead and purchased. Sorry I ever did but glad I didn't order two or three due to the sale on them.

Very nice product
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 4)
I absolutely love these facial wipes. I used the Pore Refining pack first and noticed a change in my pores after about a week of use. I'm over 60 and as we age our pores start to get a little bigger and this wipe closed them up. I'm very pleased with this facial wipe. They are small, so I use a different facial wipe to get make up off then use the Pore Refining wipe to go over my face again. I haven't used the other three types of wipes you get in this 4-pack, but look forward to see any results from them.

Indispensable!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 4)
I love these so much that they are part of my monthly subscribe-and-save program. They have absolutely no scent, which is great, because too many products are over-perfumed. They take off all of my makeup gently. There is no stinging or drying sensation. The cloths are well-sized and the package stays shut when not in use- the cloths do not dry out. After I use a couple of these each night to take my makeup off, I follow up with a gentle, moisturizing facial cleanser. My skin is soft, clean, and happy. I highly recommend these!
