[quote=Anonymous]I'm looking to read more narrative nonfiction written in a first-person voice, ideally where the author's story is part of the story. I'm thinking of Bet the Farm by Beth Hoffman and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Sloot, for instance. I did not like Evicted by Matthew Desmond as much as everyone else. I'm in the middle of The Farmer's Lawyer by Sarah Vogel and liking it okay right now. There are many memoirs with a compelling authorial voice (Educated, The Glass Castle, Wild, Eat/Pray/Love), but I'm looking for the hybrid books that are both a little bit memoir and a lot of narrative nonfiction about a topic/subject. I like it when my affection for the author keeps me interested but I'm learning about more than just his/her life as I read. Anyone have a sense of what I mean and have an recommendations to share?[/quote]
