What are some "literary" memoirs (i.e. non-celebrity) that you have enjoyed?
Contemporary recommendations are particularly welcome.
To provide some examples of ones I've recently enjoyed which I've never seen discussed on /lit/:
Tobias Wolff - A Good School
William Inge - My Son is a Splendid Driver
Paul Auster has a few, and I quite like him/them. If you want a title, then The Invention of Solitude is the first one, and then there's also Winter Journal and Report from the Interior.
Then there's always the big Knausgaard project; /lit/'s always bitching about it though, so if that third line's a criterion, I don't know if it counts.

Thank you for your suggestions. I've read Paul Auster's work and found it rather underwhelming. His style just doesn't appeal to me for whatever reason. He strikes me as a sort of American Murakami minus the erotic potential.
And yes I've read Knausgaard also, but thank you nonetheless.

Is this pepe referencing something?
García Márquez's bio is great. And, of course, Casanova's.

I don't care if this is about le funny bad meme movie. It's literary to me!
To quote a passage:
>I got assaulted by an off-duty copper, retaliated and was given 12 months in prison. This bloke who preaches hatred and murder of British people walked up and belted me in the chops, on camera, and the police were not remotely interested. Not for one second.
Riveting stuff.
