memoirs

n. recorded memories, autobiography, account of one's personal life and experiences

n. life story, autobiography, biography; record of events written by a person having an intimate knowledge of them and based on personal observation

As a literary genre, a memoir (from the French: mémoire from the Latin memoria, meaning "memory") forms a subclass of autobiography, although it is an older form of writing. Memoirs may appear less structured and less encompassing than formal autobiographical works as they are usually about part of a life rather than the chronological telling of a life from childhood to adulthood/old age. Like most autobiographies, memoirs are generally written from the first person point of view.
