	Frederick Buechner, author of more than thirty books of fiction and nonfiction, experimented with a different form of memoir in his book The Eyes of the Heart. Previous memoirs have detailed the events in Buechner's life in a more chronological fashion, but in The Eyes of the Heart Buechner uses the room in which he writes and the history of the room's artifacts and curios to recall friends and family members. Buechner sees the current resistance to "remembering" in our culture as a sign of a continuing fear of depth. The Eyes of the Heart: A Memoir of the Lost and Found (HarperSanFrancisco, 1999) Buechner, Frederick Literature--Memoir Literature--Non-fiction
