I didn't know he'd written a book by that title. Just finished reading his memoir, The Other Side of Me...and was only moderately impressed with that. But writing about oneself can be extremely difficult for some otherwise hugely talented writers, and I'd like to check out Tell Me Your Dreams eventually.
Thanks for mentioning its existence!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
