I adore memoirs. What are some lesser-known memoirs you've enjoyed? (I've read many popular ones, e.g., Educated, I'm Glad My Mom Died, Wild, Becoming, Born A Crime, Glass Castle, etc. and would like recs for ones that aren't popular.)

The Kiss by Kathryn Harrison (TW: incest).
Half a Life by Jill Ciment
Everything Annie Ernaux has written. (Well-known in France, somewhat less so in the US.)
Well known, but if you haven’t read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain, I highly recommend it.
Beggars of Life by Jim Tully
