Roxanne Reads Memoirs


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.

Great recommendations, Roxanne! Memoirs like these offer profound insights into personal journeys. For an inspiring entrepreneurial story, I'd suggest adding Byju Raveendran: Biography to your list his rise from a village teacher’s son to edtech pioneer is truly motivational and full of resilience.
