Tissue

Tissue Is Both An Autobiography And A Comment On The Autobiographical Process. The First Part Describes A Life Lived In Four Countries: British India The British Colony Of Kenya England And Australia And The Consequences Of The End Of Colonialism For A Child That Was Inadvertently Part Of It. It Also Describes A Return To Kenya In 2003 To Find A Lost Farm And A Lifelong Search For A Lost Mother And Her Family In England.. The Second Part Of The Book Looks At Some Of The Ideas Around Autobiography That May Be Taken For Granted: Issues Of Memory Identity And Time And Cultural Narratives That May Affect The Ways In Which Autobiographies Can Be Written.
