Memoir is the form that is more in line with the thoughts of postmodernists.
"The Girl with the White Flag" is a memoir, specifically categorized as a war memoir.
There are three main differences:(1) The autobiography is necessarily written by its subject. A memoir can be written by its subject, but more often is written by a close friend of the subject.(2) The autobiography is usually about the whole history of its subject, whereas a memoir usually concerns a particular period or set of events in a person's life.(3) The autobiography is supposed to be as truthful as opposed to memoirs which are fictionalized to a small degree.
An autobiography is the story of the writer's own life, written by him/herself. A memoir is also written about the writer's life, but it is focused on the writer's memories of an important event or period in the writer's life, not his/her entire life.
