    The Best Memoirs

    THE BEST MEMOIRS I’VE READ – AND WHY

    First of all, I want to qualify the title of this post. Obviously, there’s no such thing as ‘the best memoirs’ because as much as we might try to rank art, we are only ever voicing our preferences. And these are mine.

    So, rather than a ‘Best Memoirs of All Time’ list, I present these as great memoirs that have delighted, inspired, and taught me the most about how to write memoir well. Some of these you will recognise as being among the most popular memoirs of recent times, while others will probably be new to you.

     These books offer a range of styles, subjects and approaches to memoir, and the idea is to offer an overview of the terrain and a wide range of possibilities. I recommend choosing one or two books that you are immediately drawn to, as well as one or two that are not the kind of thing you normally read. As in life, we can often learn most from those who are most unlike us.
