"All Writing is Autobiography"

Murray is asking us to reconsider the construct that writing is without bias. Murray continues saying that "All my writing-and yours-is autobiographical." (57) this meaning that everyone writes in a there own way and includes there own childhood memories within their writing. Murray quotes Graham Greene who states that the first 20 years are most important for a writer (58). The first 20 years oh your life is where you sculpt your writing style and this style would include childhood memories that would show through the writing to the reader. This is what Murray means by autobiography. Even if the piece is fiction there will still be traces of the authors childhood memories.
