Description

Alan Alda's memoir is a moving and funny story of growing into a man who then realizes he has only begun to grow. Born into a world of burlesque and show business, Alda recounts his early struggles and the turning points in his life that shaped him. From the moment as a boy when his dead dog was returned from the taxidermist's shop with an unsettling expression on its face, to his decades-long effort to find compassion for the mother he lived with but never knew, Alda shares stories of turbulence and laughter. He reflects on how change, uncertainty, and transformation are what life is made of, and that welcoming them is key to a good life. Alda's story is one of self-discovery and acceptance, filled with curiosity about nature, good humour, and honesty. This is the crowning achievement of an actor, author, and director, offering a unique glimpse into his life and experiences.
