The Liar's Club: A Memoir by Mary Karr. Oh, and let me not forget to applaud This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff. Our car boiled over again just after my mother and I crossed the Continental Divide. While we were waiting for it to cool we heard, from somewhere above us, the bawling of an airhorn. The four best memoirs I have ever read, and I have read too many, are Frank McCort's, Angela's Ashes, “Tobias Wolff's, “This Boy's Life,” Geoffrey Wolff's, “The Duke of Deception,” and Jeanette Walls, “The Glass Castle.”. He doesn't like these new works because they are memoirs. This Boy's Life: A Memoir, Tobias Wolff. Mary weathers her childhood in an east Texas oil town with an alcoholic father and an oft-married mother. She paints a funny picture of an otherwise disturbing scene. Yagoda talks about his audacious chronicle of the memoir, one that spans thousands of memoirs and hundreds of years—and manna for anyone obsessed by personal storytelling. The memoirs that endure from that period are the ones that look back with love and forgiveness. But what about This Boy's Life, or any of Joan Didion's personal work? It's billed as a memoir about coping with a lifetime of feeling poor, and it is that; but it could also be seen as a memoir about a life like any other: a demonstration of the fact that every life, once you get down to the particulars, is laden with tension, drama, heartbreak, elation, suspense—all the stuff of story, great story. Memoir remains one of the most popular and compelling categories of writing today. This Boy's Life is really well considered. This Boy's Life: A Memoir by Tobias Wolff. Another is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Living to And of course Diary of Anne Frank.
