From James Frey's A Million Little Pieces to memoirs about bartending, Iran, the liberation of Dachau, hacking, and the impact of 9/11, this book argues that the memoir boom is more than a publishing trend. It is becoming the way readers try to understand major events in terms of individual experiences.
