Tyson Fury is a fraud. He sells himself as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time despite having very few good wins on his resume and refusing ever to defend his title against worthwhile opposition. His "mental health" sob-story was entirely fabricated. Fury had always lacked discipline and, inbetween his fights, would put on loads of weight from partying and drinking. When he returned from his "retirement", he made up the mental health story and used his weight gain as evidence for it, even though it was nothing new with him, in order to endear himself to the public.
I was just using it as an example as it's an autobiography I've read (not read many hence why I'm asking for suggestions) and I think Tyson is a bit of a cunt too.
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Stein and Autobiography by Gass (from Finding a Form) should be read by anyone interested in autobiographies. But they are almost certainly not what OP wants.
Hopefully I will be proven wrong on my assumption. Autobiographies are rather complex things and considerably more than just a person writing about their life and that is what these two works explore, the Stein is also an autobiography of Stein which she wrote from the perspective of her lover. The Gass essay is a brief read, explores what an autobiography is and what it means through the history of the form and related forms. There is a shorter reworked version on the web but I would avoid that one, download Finding a Form from the usual sources if you want to avoid buying it.
I was reading some reviews for a book on Amazon and there was this one woman who complained that she thought the book she was buying was an autobiography but actually it was an autobiographical novel and that it was disappointing to her to realise it even though she enjoyed the novel
Why are people like this?
I like biography but I'd never read an autobiography
Bret Harts biography is pretty good, it just details slow descend into everything he despises in very dramatic fashion considering it's his real life. Start of the book >I hate all these drug addicted, cheating, roid abusing scum who hate their wives, they're all shit compared to me, good clean faithful boy
and then gradually he just ditches everything >Yeah I did some roids, but that's because I got injured and HAD to take steroids. And then I looked really good and become more popular, it would make me look lazy to lose my muscle so I just kept taking them >then I had to take painkillers for my injury, and I kept taking it because it made me feel really good and doing alcohol and other drugs made me feel really good as well >maybe I cheated but I couldn't help it, I was away from home and all these chicks kept begging me to fuck them, my wife shouldn't have been such a bitch about it
Any suggestions?
any autobiography written by an athlete is not actually autobiographical
Yep. It was most likely ghost written. If he actually wrote it, then that could be interesting though. He's surprising smart and weirdly insightful.
wrong
A guy who gets hit in the head for a living has a book published and you don't.
Funny fucker

wasn't he also a massive immigration cuck too?
i don't know but he's on camera talking about how evil the israelites are and how they rule everything so it seems unlikely
t. Idiot homosexual who knows nothing about boxing.
Tyson Fury is a great heavyweight fighter.

I've actually read a few chapters of this until my copy got lost into the void, should probably finish it sooner or later
Can’t go wrong with this one. He was an interesting person who lead an even more interesting life.
