BUY WITH CONFIDENCE, Over one million books sold! I've included it because I wanted to call attention to some exceptional family centered memoirs such as Stitches, The Glass Castle, and This Boy's Life. By that I mean exactly how many times Wolff used his “creative license. Another is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Living to And of course Diary of Anne Frank. In '67 Whiskey', a compelling new fictional memoir by David Martinez, the author's own experiences prove that those who serve are still only human. The memoirs that endure from that period are the ones that look back with love and forgiveness. I was surprised at how good that novel was because Wolff (if he is known — and more people should read him) is better known for his short stories and this memoir. Primarily known as a writer of memoirs – most notably This Boy's Life – and short stories, Wolff has also garnered praise for his two novels as well. One of my favorites is John Lanchester's Family Romance: A Love Story. Oh, and let me not forget to applaud This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff. My main concern about Tobias Wolff's memoir This Boy's Life is how much of the memoir is actually true. They don't even necessarily have to be true. So I finally pulled This Boy's Life off the shelf.

It's billed as a memoir about coping with a lifetime of feeling poor, and it is that; but it could also be seen as a memoir about a life like any other: a demonstration of the fact that every life, once you get down to the particulars, is laden with tension, drama, heartbreak, elation, suspense—all the stuff of story, great story. This sidebar explains how you can quickly get going; Read and then replace with Widgets (see below). I recommend heartily several men's memoirs, including the classic This Boy's Life and Frank McCourt's books.
