How much is too much to reveal in a memoir? In “How to Say Babylon,” Safiya Sinclair explores her father’s religious fundamentalism and its effect on her and in “Dyscalculia,” Camonghne Felix divulges a love gone bad. They are members of a long honorable line of literary truthtellers who bare their hearts on the page. Moderated by A’Lelia Bundles.
