Assignment 4
Art and Madness
Anne Roiphe recounts life in her early twenties as she puts her dreams on hold to avail herself as the muse and support of male artist. Artfully written, Roiphe abandons the traditional timeline and opts to retell her story in segmented thoughts throughout the 50s and 60s reflecting the madness of her life. This style though disjointed will keep readers engaged and wanting to know where Roiphe's relationships will go. Readers of biographies and literary fiction will appreciate Roiphe's transparency about her relationships and find her experiences entertaining.

Changing My Mind
Changing My Mind is a collection of essays that explores life and literature. The book is divided into 5 parts; Reading, Being, Seeing, Feeling, Remembering. In each section Smith reflects on her personal life experiences and the literature that has influenced her thinking. She recalls authors and the impact that they had on her development as a writer. Aspiring writers will find solace in understanding Smith's changes in life and her understanding of literature.
