Kris Jenner . . . And All Things Kardashian

Released in 2011 by Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, this memoir was written during the height of the Kardashian family's transition from reality television subjects to a global cultural brand. Kris Jenner wrote the book to provide her personal narrative regarding the creation of the family's media empire, detailing her life before and during her marriage to Robert Kardashian, and her subsequent efforts in managing her children's careers.

The book reflects the polished, highly curated aesthetic often associated with the family's public image, focusing on themes of motherhood, business acumen, and self-reinvention. While it received significant attention from tabloid media and fans of the series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, literary critics generally characterized it as an extension of the family’s brand strategy rather than a traditional memoir, noting that it served primarily to reinforce the established public personas of the family members.
