Following publication of "Untold Millions", Hobson wrote two acclaimed volumes of autobiography: "Laura Z: A Life" (1983), which concludes with the publication of "Gentleman's Agreement" in 1947; and the unfinished "Laura Z: A Life, Years of Fulfillment," with an afterword by Christopher Z. Hobson, which appeared posthumously in 1986. In the books, Hobson discussed her books, her writing methods, and her friendships with such luminaries as Norman Cousins, Eric Hodgins, Sinclair Lewis, Henry and Clare Boothe Luce, Dorothy Thompson, and James Thurber.
