DEVELOP THE SOMEWHERE OF YOUR STORY. SETTING MUST SUPPORT YOUR MEMOIR'S MESSAGE.
Without a strong setting, your memoir happens in a “no where land” that can't sustain your story! Setting must reveal some tangible essence that no memoir can do without.
The term “setting” is generally understood to refer to where your memoir takes place. This is a city or a rural neighborhood, a state or province, a country. Setting includes a house and a room and a street. If your pen were a movie camera, the setting would be what your camera would eventually project on the screen.
In this sense, setting is a physical and tangible element. Even when it no longer exists, your obligation as a memoirist is to reproduce it in your pages as if it were still there. The reader feels as if s/he were in the midst of the world that once was.
BUT, THERE'S MORE...
Setting in a memoir can also refer to a whole series of abstract factors that are equally critical to understanding—interpreting—your story:
• socio-economic status of your family, especially in relation to the community,
• the time frame (the era),
• religion or religious group,
• ethnic group, again in relation to the community,
• education of the characters—or lack therof,
• history of the town, state, country.
The memoir setting in both its senses is a critical aspect of your memoir. It can change your story from a parochial one that is of interest only to family and friends to a story that captivates the reader with its depth of psychology, and its exploration of human nature becomes the voice of a generation and of a shared experience.
