The Art of the Memoir by Mary KarrRead about another book on the list.
In her latest book, the author of The Liars' Club proves that the truth is infinitely sexier and more gripping than anything we could invent. You'll cackle out loud reading this book and get the best required-memoir-reading list ever compiled. If you ever want to tell your story, this book may be the only tool you'll need other than Kleenex and an arsenal of apologies.
