Memoirs of literary life are not uncommon, but Susan Hill's [[Howards End is on the Landing by Susan Hill|Howards End is on the Landing]] is an unusual take, when the author decides not to buy a book for a year, but reread, and thus relive, her old collection. Much more challenging, but also witty, wise and often completely hilarious, is [[Untold Stories by Alan Bennett]], the continuing meditation on his past and the people and books that surround it. Bennett was writing this as he was under the 50/50 prognosis of survival from cancer which makes for poignant comparison with McWilliam.
