I'll see if I can get one more nomination under the wire! I'll nominate an sutobiography:
Under the Eye of the Clock: The Life Story of Christopher Nolan by Christopher Nolan.
It won the 1987 Whitbread Book of the year. While Nolan does not actually use his own name it is about his own experience:
From the back of the book:
"This is the story of Joseph Meehan, born cruelly handicapped and known to the world as 'the crippled boy'. Filled with insight into the soul inside a broken body and warm with the beauties of the Irish landscape, it is the story of Joseph's fight to escape the restrictions and confines of his existence. It can also be read as the autobiography of its author, the brilliantly gifted young writer Christopher Nolan."
It is available in two inexpensive editions at Amazon UK:

In epub format in the iTunes Book Store and in Kobo:

And I'll use my final nomination to second
Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin
