Here’s an essay by Louis Menand, who writes for The New Yorker, of The Real Romney, a biography by Michael Kranish and Scott Helman. I hesitated to link to this one, given the ongoing presidential campaign, but I decided to go ahead and give you the option of reading it, because Menand is a fantastic writer. He’s the author of The Metaphysical Club, which is brilliant.

Here’s an interesting piece in The Atlantic, reviewing a book about archaeologist Ian Graham. Good example of a review of an autobiography.
