Biographies and memoirs bring us the lives and experiences of real people. They help us learn more about the world around us and often add context to large and small moments of history and culture, or highlight often overlooked voices and experiences.
Every month we send an email highlighting the most compelling recent biographies and memoirs, as well as backlist gems.
