The author of the famous autobiographical narrative is Barack Hussein Obama. The paragraph mentions that the book was first published in 1995 when the author was elected the first African-American President of the Harvard Law Review. It also states that the book tells the story of the author`s life up to his entry in the Harvard Law Review.

The paragraph further mentions that the author`s parents separated when he was two years old and that in the book, he formed an image of his absent father from the stories told by his mother and her parents.

Option 1, Nelson Mandela, is not the correct answer as the paragraph does not mention him at all. Option 2, Martin Luther King, is also not the correct answer as the paragraph does not mention him either. Similarly, option 3, Benjamin Banneker, is not mentioned in the paragraph.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Barack Hussein Obama, as the paragraph clearly states that he is the author of the memoir.
