Biographies/Memoirs
Welcome to Biographies & Memoirs where the focus is life stories, from presidents to rock stars, athletes to activists, celebrities to anyone who's made a difference. If they are known we will cover their story. Author biographies can be found under the Artist heading.
Besides biography reviews, we'll discuss what makes them good reads and the questions they raise.
Do you wonder what distinguishes an autobiography from a memoir? How many first ladies have written their memoirs? What is an "unauthorized" biography?
If you'd like a particular biography or autobiography --including your own!-- reviewed by our writers, please email me.
