Auto/biographies on the list

[Laura]

I know Wild Swans and Memoirs of a Geisha are both biographies on the 1001 books list but I was wondering if there are any more? Thanks!

[Charity]

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is the first in a series of autobiographies by Maya Angelou and is on the list.

[Charity]

Memoirs of a Geisha is historical fiction.

[M]

I think the confusion stems from the fact that Memoirs of a Geisha is based on the real life of Iwasaki Mineko, who later published her autobiography Geisha, a Life.

[Luke]

Storm of Steel and If This Is a Man / The Truce are both biographies. I'm not sure if Dispatches can be strictly classified as one, but it is biographical.

[Sarah]

The Edmund White books "A Boy's Own Story" and "The Beautiful Room is Empty" are both biographies.

[Sandi]

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano: Written by Himself is an autobiography.

[Ursula]

The Enormous Room by E.E. Cummings is autobiographical (although also fictionalized), about his imprisonment in France during WWI.

[Tej]

Walden is on the list. I wouldn't call it autobiography--more of a memoir or personal essay.
