"I cling to my imperfection, as the very essence of my being."

-Anatole France

Autobiography is one of the most incredible genres we have: the best of them provide a remarkable window into a celebrated life and help the readers understand what the subjective experience of their life was like, along with the lessons and wisdom that they've picked up along the way.

Defined succintly, autobiography is a form of life writing, or biography, where the subject of the book is also its author.

It is a form of self-narrative that often includes personal experiences, memories, and reflections that have shaped the author's life.

Autobiographies can vary widely in style, from straightforward and factual accounts of the author's life, to more literary and experimental forms that incorporate poetry, fiction, autofiction, or philosophical musings.
