Autobiography of a Face is a memoir by Lucy Grealy in which she narrates her life before and after being diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. The memoir describes her life from the age of nine to adulthood. In this memoir, she narrates the consequences of the disease in her emotional life as well as the physical implications that it had on her face, which resulted in a lifetime of self-consciousness. When interviewed about the memoir in 1994 by Charley Rose, the author explained that the book's principal theme was identity.[citation needed]
The memoir first began as an essay, entitled Mirrorings, she was commissioned to write for an anthology. Prior to its publication in the anthology Grealy sold the essay to Harper's Magazine where it attracted enough attention to secure her an agent and a book deal.[1]
The book was first published in 1994, and a British edition was released in 1995 under the name In the Mind's Eyes.[2]
In 2004 following Grealy's death, her close friend Ann Patchett wrote the memoir Truth & Beauty which documents the writing of Grealy's memoir and her life after the book found success.
