The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. In 2008, Paul Newman tasked his best friend with interviewing the people who had shaped his life, in order to create an oral history of it. After hearing and reading what they had to say, Newman dictated his own version. Now, this long-lost memoir will be published. Full of wonderful stories and recollections by his family, friends, and such luminaries as Elia Kazan, Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill and Martin Ritt, this book will surprise and shock readers as it reveals Newman's previously unknown sides. In this extraordinary memoir, Newman details his fascinating story: from troubled beginnings, marked by fraught relationships with both his mother and father, to the iconic film roles (both good and bad) that cemented his status as a Hollywood icon and heartthrob, and the complicated relationships that were formed along the way.

Paul Newman vo svojich memoároch úprimne opisuje celý svoj život: traumatické detstvo, kariéru, pitie, spomienky na Marlona Brandona, Jamesa Deana, Elizabeth Taylorovú, Johna Hustona, ale aj svoje najväčšie herecké roly, intímny život s Joanne Woodwardovou či svoje najvnútornejšie obavy, vášne a radosti. V roku 1986 sa Paul Newman a jeho najbližší priateľ, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do výnimočného projektu. Stewart mal zostaviť jeho pamäti. Predstava bola taká, že Newmanova rodina, priatelia a tí, ktorí s ním úzko spolupracovali, podajú svoju výpoveď o hercovom živote. A následne bude Paul Newman spolupracovať so Stewartom a podá svoju verziu príbehu. Jedinou podmienkou bolo, že každý, kto sa zúčastní na nahrávaní, musí byť maximálne úprimný. Rovnaká podmienka platila aj pre samotného Newmana. Projekt trval päť rokov a výsledkom sú neobyčajné memoáre, zostavené z tisícov strán prepisov. Newmanovo rozprávanie je silné, niekedy vtipné, inokedy bolestné, vždy však hlboko úprimné. Rozprávania priateľov z detstva a kamarátov z námorníctva, rodinných príslušníkov a filmových a divadelných spolupracovníkov, ako sú Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston, ktoré sa objavujú v celom texte, dodávajú Newmanovmu príbehu bohatosť, farebnosť a zaujímavú rôznorodosť.
