Non-Fiction Memoir
Picking up where his bestselling memoir Never Have Your
Dog Stuffed left off–having been saved by emergency
surgery after nearly dying on a mountaintop in Chile–beloved
actor and acclaimed author Alan Alda offers an insightful
and funny look at some impossible questions he’s asked
himself over the years: What do I value? What, exactly, is
the good life? (And what does that even mean?) Here, Alda listens in on things he’s heard himself saying at
critical points in his life–from the turbulence of the
sixties, to his first Broadway show, to the birth of his
children, to the ache of September 11, and beyond. Reflecting on the transitions in his life and in all our
lives, he notices that “doorways are where the truth is
told,” and wonders if there’s one thing–art, activism,
family, money, fame–that could lead to a “life of meaning.”
In a book that is candid, wise, and as questioning as it is
incisive, Alda amuses and moves us with his uniquely
hilarious meditations on questions great and small.
