Roxanne is our most dedicated memoir reader.
Here are three recent life stories that she recommends.
Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti
Roxanne says:
Certain locations and author lectures have inspired me to write, but never a book: until this one! Meditative and comforting, proof we're all muddling in this world together!
Lifeform by Jenny Slate
Roxanne says:
Jenny Slate is a one of a kind-a vulnerable human willing to bare her soul in a witty, funny metaphysical narrative. Themes include relationships, motherhood and the golden rule.
The Outrun by Amy Liptrot
Roxanne says:
Amy Liptrot's coming of age tale and analysis of a drinking problem spiraling out of control is not preachy, nor mundane. Her writing about returning to her family home on a remote island north of Scotland is saturated with nature sounds and our universal need for belonging.
