Around the Bloc

On Saturday, December 6th, I took a writing workshop with Stephanie Elizondo Griest on writing a memoir.  I learned that a memoir is not an autobiography, that it may cover just a short portion of one's life, such as Ms. Griest's which details her life in Moscow as a student, and later Bejing and Cuba.  Her book was entitled "Around the Bloc", meaning the communist bloc.  An enjoyable and very personal book, I recommend to any who are interested.
