The 20 Most Influential Memoirs of All Time

"Memoir is a wide-ranging genre. It's not a biography — the story of a person's life told by someone else — or an autobiography — a person telling their own life story. A memoir is the story of a specific time or theme or experience of a person's life. It's a deep meditation on something like growing up poor, or having a debilitating mental illness, or living in a racist America. Here, we dig into some of the most influential memoirs of all time."
