On Writing – Stephen King, also one of my favorite books.

I’d say the best ones I’ve read are Educated, by Tara Westover and 3,096 days, by Natascha Kampusch. Both authors have obviously reflected on their experiences and do not just write about what happened to them, but also how they thought at the time, how they think about it now, and how the other relevant people (family and kidnapper, respectively) were thinking and acting. Not excusing their behaviour, but giving it context and depth.
