The New York Times Book Review conducted a comprehensive survey soliciting opinions from a diverse group of literary figures to create their "100 Best Books" list, emphasizing a subjective interpretation of 'best'.
Despite including nonfiction works, literary fiction dominated the top ten of the New York Times list, highlighting a trend that favors traditional storytelling in contemporary literature.
Memoirs appeared in limited scope, with only seven personal narratives making the cut, raising questions about the representation of personal storytelling in contemporary literature.
Overall, while literary journalism and nonfiction titles had a presence, memoirs were underrepresented, indicating a complex landscape for personal narratives in literary circles.
