People are really out here living extraordinary lives. Honestly, even people with seemingly regular lives have interesting stories to tell, and this is the time to do it. It feels like we are in a sort of Memoir Golden Age—there are so many coming out each year (every few weeks, even), and they are regularly among the bestselling titles.

Among the deluge of real stories told by real people are some exciting titles by BIPOC writers. One of them is by one of the most quoted living intellectuals, another by an Indigenous chef, and another by a woman contending with the complex reality of the American Dream.
