Life writing is an expansive genre that deals primarily with the purposeful recording of personal memories, experiences, opinions and emotions for different ends. What actually constitutes life writing has been debated throughout its history and has often been defined through the lens of the autobiography genre and the concept of the self as it arises in writing; framed by those two concepts, life writing has come to include subgenres such as biography, memoir, diary, letter, testimony and personal essay.
