No Previous Experience
Biography, autobiography, and memoir reflect and create fame or notoriety as they document lives and experiences. Canadian Elspeth Cameron’s latest book, No Previous Experience: A Memoir of Love and Change, presents a biographer turning her lens inward. This inversion of the lens has created both fame and notoriety for Cameron while chronicling the touching story of her falling in love with a woman and leaving her abusive husband. The title is (I hope) ironic, since Cameron has had three marriages, raised three children, given one up for adoption, and created a successful academic career for herself. She is far from inexperienced as she enters into her new relationship. No Previous Experience is a coming-out story, a honeyed look at growing lesbian awareness and choices. It is also an unflinching look at the fear and conflicting emotions of leaving an emotionally and physically abusive relationship.
