by the Authors Who Wrote Them</h1> <h2 class="read-down-text">Reading a memoir is a fascinating literary experience. It’s an opportunity to take a peek into the life of another person, to hear the story as they would tell it. The best memoirs are intimate explorations of life – sometimes hilarious, sometimes painful, sometimes inspirational, but always authentic and vulnerable. There’s also something special about <em>hearing</em> a person tell their own story. That is why memoirs often make great audiobooks, and the authors who wrote them very often handle the reading.</h2> </div> </div> </section> <ol class="awesome-list"> <li class="inner-facade" id="book1" format-data="Paperback,Ebook,Audio" imprint-data="Penguin Books" cat-data="Biography & Memoir" isbn="9780593172186" ttl="Know My Name" data-isbn="9780593172186" workid="553663" data-format="Audio" data-format-name="Audiobook Download" authid="2211869" author="Chanel Miller" > <div class="container relative"> <div class="list-number"><span>1</span></div> <div class="list-meta-wrap"> <div class="list-meta"> <div class="readdown-cover-wrap-desktop" href="/books/553663/know-my-name-by-chanel-miller/9780593172186/"> <div class="cover"> <span class=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://images4.penguinrandomhouse.com/cover/9780593172186" alt="Know My Name Book Cover Picture" class="img-responsive" /></span> </div> <div class="book-shelf-wrapper"> <div class="book-shelf-add" tabindex="0"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/themes/penguinrandomhouse/images/save-20x22.svg" width="20px" height="22px" role="button" alt="Add Know My Name to bookshelf"> <div class="grid-item" data-workid="553663" data-work="{"workId":553663,"isbn":9780735223721,"title":"Know My Name","subtitle":"A Memoir","author":"Chanel Miller","imprint":{"code":"ID","name":"Penguin Books","family":"Penguin Books"},"onSaleDate":{"date":"2020-08-18","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"UTC"},"usPrice":19,"format":{"code":"TR","name":"Paperback","subcode":null,"subname":null,"family":"Paperback","description":"Trade Paperback"},"contributors":{"010-1001":{"id":2211869,"display":"Chanel Miller","roleCode":"A","roleName":"Author","ontour":false,"spotlight":"&lt;b&gt;Chanel Miller &lt;\/b&gt;is a writer and artist.

Warm, wise, and revelatory,&amp;#160;&lt;i&gt;Becoming&lt;\/i&gt;&amp;#160;is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations&amp;mdash;and whose story inspires us to do the same.","flags":["READER_REWARDS","INSIGHT"],"otherFields":{"netInv":9171},"vendorIds":{"Amazon":"1524763144"},"cbRtnDate":null,"asset_types":[]}"> <span class="bookShelfControl">Add to Bookshelf</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="buy"> <div class="buy_clmn"> <div class="ajax-wait hidden"></div> <h3>Buy from Other Retailers:</h3> <div class="btn buy hidden"></div> <div class="hidden parking-lot by_isbn"></div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="inner-facade no-bg-el" id="book4" format-data="Audio" imprint-data="Random House Audio" cat-data="Food Memoir & Travel | Biography & Memoir | Business | Audiobooks" isbn="9780375417726" ttl="Kitchen Confidential" data-isbn="9780375417726" workid="16503" data-format="Audio" data-format-name="Audiobook Download" authid="2876" author="Anthony Bourdain" > <div class="container relative"> <div class="list-number"><span>4</span></div> <div class="list-meta-wrap"> <div class="list-meta"> <div class="readdown-cover-wrap-desktop" href="/books/16503/kitchen-confidential-by-anthony-bourdain/"> <div class="cover"> <span class=""> <img decoding="async" src="" data-src="https://images1.penguinrandomhouse.com/cover/9780375417726" alt="Kitchen Confidential Book Cover Picture" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive lazyload" /></span> </div> <div class="book-shelf-wrapper"> <div class="book-shelf-add" tabindex="0"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/themes/penguinrandomhouse/images/save-20x22.svg" width="20px" height="22px" role="button" alt="Add Kitchen Confidential to bookshelf"> <div class="grid-item" data-workid="16503" data-work="{"workId":16503,"isbn":9780375417726,"title":"Kitchen Confidential","subtitle":"Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly","author":"Anthony Bourdain","imprint":{"code":"IO","name":"Random House Audio","family":null},"onSaleDate":{"date":"2001-02-07","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"UTC"},"usPrice":14.96,"format":{"code":"DN","name":"Audiobook Download","subcode":null,"subname":null,"family":"Audio","description":"Unabridged Audiobook Download"},"contributors":{"010-1001":{"id":2876,"display":"Anthony Bourdain","roleCode":"A","roleName":"Author","ontour":false,"spotlight":"&lt;b&gt;Anthony Bourdain &lt;\/b&gt;was an American celebrity chef, author, travel documentarian, and television personality who starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine, and the human condition.","seoFriendlyUrl":"\/authors\/2876\/anthony-bourdain","attr":1001,"firstInitial":"A","lastInitial":"B","hasAuthorPhoto":false,"photoCredit":null,"photoDate":null,"authorPhotoUrl":"https:\/\/images.penguinrandomhouse.com\/author\/2876","primaryFlag":true},"030-1002":{"id":2876,"display":"Anthony Bourdain","roleCode":"4","roleName":"Read by","ontour":false,"spotlight":"&lt;b&gt;Anthony Bourdain &lt;\/b&gt;was an American celebrity chef, author, travel documentarian, and television personality who starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine, and the human condition.","seoFriendlyUrl":"\/authors\/2876\/anthony-bourdain","attr":1002,"firstInitial":"A","lastInitial":"B","hasAuthorPhoto":false,"photoCredit":null,"photoDate":null,"authorPhotoUrl":"https:\/\/images.penguinrandomhouse.com\/author\/2876","primaryFlag":false}},"seoFriendlyUrl":"\/books\/16503\/kitchen-confidential-by-anthony-bourdain\/9780375417726","division":{"code":"22","description":"Audio"},"categories":[{"catId":2000000060,"catDesc":"Food Memoir &amp; Travel","catUri":"\/food-memoir-travel","menuText":"Food Memoir &amp; Travel","leafNode":true,"deepestNode":true,"seq":1},{"catId":2000000021,"catDesc":"Biography &amp; Memoir","catUri":"\/biography-memoir","menuText":"Biography &amp; Memoir","leafNode":false,"deepestNode":true,"seq":2},{"catId":2000000025,"catDesc":"Business ","catUri":"\/business","menuText":"Business","leafNode":false,"deepestNode":true,"seq":4},{"catId":2000000169,"catDesc":"Audiobooks","catUri":"\/audiobooks","menuText":"Audiobooks","leafNode":true,"deepestNode":true,"seq":5},{"catId":2000000036,"catDesc":"Cookbooks","catUri":"\/cookbooks","menuText":"Cookbooks","leafNode":false,"deepestNode":false,"seq":0},{"catId":2000000111,"catDesc":"Nonfiction","catUri":"\/nonfiction","menuText":"Nonfiction","leafNode":false,"deepestNode":false,"seq":0}],"aboutTheBook":"When Chef Anthony Bourdain wrote &amp;quot;Don&#039;t Eat Before You Read This&amp;quot; in The New Yorker, he spared no one&#039;s appetite, revealing what goes on behind the kitchen door.

Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: &lt;i&gt;Wasn&amp;rsquo;t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this?&lt;\/i&gt; We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent&amp;mdash;even from ourselves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: &lt;i&gt;There She Is&lt;\/i&gt;. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice&amp;mdash;the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world&amp;rsquo;s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, &lt;i&gt;Untamed&lt;\/i&gt; is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of&amp;#160;navigating divorce, forming a&amp;#160;new blended family,&amp;#160;and discovering that the&amp;#160;brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not&amp;#160;on its&amp;#160;structure but&amp;#160;on&amp;#160;each member&amp;rsquo;s ability to&amp;#160;bring&amp;#160;her&amp;#160;full&amp;#160;self to the table.&amp;#160;And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say:&lt;i&gt; There She Is&lt;\/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Untamed&lt;\/i&gt; shows us how to be brave.

At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice&amp;mdash;the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world&amp;rsquo;s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, &lt;i&gt;Untamed&lt;\/i&gt; is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of&amp;#160;navigating divorce, forming a&amp;#160;new blended family,&amp;#160;and discovering that the&amp;#160;brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not&amp;#160;on its&amp;#160;structure but&amp;#160;on&amp;#160;each member&amp;rsquo;s ability to&amp;#160;bring&amp;#160;her&amp;#160;full&amp;#160;self to the table.&amp;#160;And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say:&lt;i&gt; There She Is&lt;\/i&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Untamed&lt;\/i&gt; shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: &lt;i&gt;The braver we are, the luckier we get.&lt;\/i&gt;","flags":["READER_REWARDS","INSIGHT"],"otherFields":{"netInv":24029},"vendorIds":{"Amazon":"1984801252"},"cbRtnDate":null,"asset_types":[]}"> <span class="bookShelfControl">Add to Bookshelf</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="buy"> <div class="buy_clmn"> <div class="ajax-wait hidden"></div> <h3>Buy from Other Retailers:</h3> <div class="btn buy hidden"></div> <div class="hidden parking-lot by_isbn"></div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="inner-facade no-bg-el" id="book6" format-data="Paperback,Hardcover,Ebook,Audio" imprint-data="Clarkson Potter" cat-data="Food Memoir & Travel | Biography & Memoir" isbn="9780593208380" ttl="Eat a Peach" data-isbn="9780593208380" workid="552829" data-format="Audio" data-format-name="Audiobook Download" authid="89208,2213451" author="David Chang,Gabe Ulla" > <div class="container relative"> <div class="list-number"><span>6</span></div> <div class="list-meta-wrap"> <div class="list-meta"> <div class="readdown-cover-wrap-desktop" href="/books/552829/eat-a-peach-by-david-chang-with-gabe-ulla/9780593208380/"> <div class="cover"> <span class=""> <img decoding="async" src="" data-src="https://images3.penguinrandomhouse.com/cover/9780593208380" alt="Eat a Peach Book Cover Picture" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive lazyload" /></span> </div> <div class="book-shelf-wrapper"> <div class="book-shelf-add" tabindex="0"> <img decoding="async" src="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/wp-content/themes/penguinrandomhouse/images/save-20x22.svg" width="20px" height="22px" role="button" alt="Add Eat a Peach to bookshelf"> <div class="grid-item" data-workid="552829" data-work="{"workId":552829,"isbn":9781524759230,"title":"Eat a Peach","subtitle":"A Memoir","author":"David Chang with Gabe Ulla","imprint":{"code":"C2","name":"Clarkson Potter","family":null},"onSaleDate":{"date":"2022-05-24","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"UTC"},"usPrice":17.99,"format":{"code":"TR","name":"Paperback","subcode":null,"subname":null,"family":"Paperback","description":"Trade Paperback"},"contributors":{"010-1001":{"id":89208,"display":"David Chang","roleCode":"A","roleName":"Author","ontour":false,"spotlight":"&lt;b&gt;David Chang&lt;\/b&gt;&amp;#160;is the chef and founder of Momofuku.

Eric Thomas didn&amp;rsquo;t know he was different until the world told him so. Everywhere he went&amp;mdash;whether it was his rich, mostly white, suburban high school, his conservative black church, or his Ivy League college in a big city&amp;mdash;he found himself on the outside looking in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In essays by turns hysterical and heartfelt, Thomas reexamines&amp;#160;what it means to be an &amp;ldquo;other&amp;rdquo; through the lens of his own life experience. He explores the two worlds of his childhood: the barren urban landscape where his parents&amp;rsquo; house was an anomalous bright spot, and the Eden-like school they sent him to in white suburbia. He writes about struggling to reconcile his Christian identity with his sexuality, the exhaustion of code-switching in college, accidentally getting famous on the internet (for the wrong reason), and the surreal experience of covering the 2016 election for &lt;i&gt;Elle&lt;\/i&gt; online, and the seismic changes that came thereafter.

Eric Thomas didn&amp;rsquo;t know he was different until the world told him so. Everywhere he went&amp;mdash;whether it was his rich, mostly white, suburban high school, his conservative black church, or his Ivy League college in a big city&amp;mdash;he found himself on the outside looking in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; In essays by turns hysterical and heartfelt, Thomas reexamines&amp;#160;what it means to be an &amp;ldquo;other&amp;rdquo; through the lens of his own life experience. He explores the two worlds of his childhood: the barren urban landscape where his parents&amp;rsquo; house was an anomalous bright spot, and the Eden-like school they sent him to in white suburbia. He writes about struggling to reconcile his Christian identity with his sexuality, the exhaustion of code-switching in college, accidentally getting famous on the internet (for the wrong reason), and the surreal experience of covering the 2016 election for &lt;i&gt;Elle&lt;\/i&gt; online, and the seismic changes that came thereafter. Ultimately, Thomas seeks the answer to these ever more relevant questions: Is the future worth it? Why do we bother when everything seems to be getting worse? As the world continues to shift in unpredictable ways, Thomas finds the answers to these questions by reenvisioning what &amp;ldquo;normal&amp;rdquo; means and in the powerful alchemy that occurs when you at last place yourself at the center of your own story.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt; Here for It&lt;\/i&gt;&amp;#160;will resonate deeply and joyfully with everyone who has ever felt pushed to the margins, struggled with self-acceptance, or wished to shine more brightly in a dark world.
