A little while ago I read Henry Puyi’s autobiography and honestly it was beautiful. So just wanted to ask if anyone here had any recommendations. I’ll be reading Lyudmila Pavelochenko’s memoirs next but after that I don’t know. Back when I was a liberal I wanted to read Ulysses S Grant’s memoirs, but idk if I’d enjoy them now, so :p

The memoirs of Ri In Mo: Korean revolutionary soldier, DPRK war correspondent, poet, and long-term unconverted political prisoner, who was held and tortured in South Korea for almost 40 years before being freed and later being allowed to return to the northern part of his homeland. Written in 1996.
He also writes about his childhood and radicalization as a young teen living under Japanese colonial occupation.
Very interesting, thank you for recommendation!
Malcolm X’s biography/autobiography is pretty good, written largely in collaboration with him, although I cant remember the exact nature of Haley’s involvement. I was more lib when I read it but I think it probably holds up.
