A candid first-person account of superstardom's private cost — family, craft, and the loneliness behind the fame. Best for: readers curious about Jackson's own framing of his career and family life.
The Storyteller
Dave Grohl · 2021

Chronicles
Bob Dylan · 2004

Life
Keith Richards · 2010
A sprawling, gravel-voiced recollection of rock-and-roll excess and survival, mixing candid war stories with reflective asides on love, loss, and music-making.

Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright · 1911
