Non-Fiction Memoir
The definitive autobiography of one of the most famous
personalities in television history-an intimate, revealing,
and riveting memoir that will show a Larry King the world
has never known, up close and personal.
Celebrated as
"the most remarkable talk-show host on TV ever" by TV Guide
and "master of the mike" by Time magazine, for a
half-century the world's most influential figures have been
telling their story to Larry King. Now the man in suspenders
shares his riveting and inspiring story, from his humble
roots in Depression-era Brooklyn to the heights of celebrity
as host of CNN's Larry King Live.
Before he
befriended presidents and iconic entertainers, Larry grew up
on the streets of Brooklyn, where he was known to friends as
"Zeke the Greek the Mouthpiece" because he never stopped
talking. Larry delves deeply into his extraordinary personal
odyssey, beginning with the loss of his father at age nine.
He has lost jobs, had a three-pack-a-day smoking habit, been
down to his last $2 when he won an $8,000 trifecta at the
racetrack, had a heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery,
quit smoking, founded a heart foundation that has raised
millions and assisted thousands, and now, at the age of
seventy-five, has recently gotten thrown out of a Little
League game for arguing a call in defense of his
nine-year-old son.
Filled with delightfully
evocative personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes
observations on some of our most important world figures,
What Am I Doing Here? will be devoured by Larry King's
millions of fans worldwide.
