We have some standout memoirs this week, including A Living Remedy, Nicole Chung's "beautifully written" book about facing the loss of both parents in a devastating handful of years; We Are on Our Own by Miriam Katin, a "powerful memoir" in graphic novel form based on her and her mother's survival journey during the Holocaust; and American Ramble, in which Neil King shares his 330-mile journey on foot "in a clear and affecting way." Plus so many more!
Nicole Chung discusses the evolution of A Living Remedy in The Writer's Life; it started out as one book, then evolved into quite another.
