The Brouhaha of memoirs

Some bashing of memoirs
What if I want to write without any healing stories? The power of memoir, a How to Write your Healing story.

After looking at Getting a Grip of Monica Seles ( the cover picture reminds me of the lead singer of Maroon 5) and Open of Andre Agassi, I want to know all about them but not putting in so much time.
Reading a description of Getting a Grip, it seems like a revelation that Seles had to be away for a while. Human behavior is so underknown. As a child, it is understandable that a stab to a sportswoman would just mean a trip to hospital and getting well. But even now, it wouldnt follow for me the emotional requirement to understand the stab event, react to it and heal from it.
In so many events of the last century, there were crowds taking part in the same. When it is a personal event, it must take alot to eve know your coordinates. In the cairo event, looks like in the spirit of crowd, things are taking their course but there is the aspect of some families with loss.
