The ones that make us look good in the rearview mirror? In \u003ci\u003eThe Night of the Gun\u003c\/i\u003e, David Carr redefines memoir with the revelatory story of his years as an addict and chronicles his journey from crack-house regular to regular columnist for\u003ci\u003e The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. Built on sixty videotaped interviews, legal and medical records, and three years of reporting, \u003ci\u003eThe Night of the Gun\u003c\/i\u003e is a ferocious tale that uses the tools of journalism to fact-check the past. Carr's investigation of his own history reveals that his odyssey through addiction, recovery, cancer, and life as a single parent was far more harrowing--and, in the end, more miraculous--than he allowed himself to remember. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fierce, gritty, and remarkable, \u003ci\u003eThe Night of the Gun\u003c\/i\u003e is \"an odyssey you'll find hard to forget\" (\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416541530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/07\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/21\/2010 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Carr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649850044572,"sku":"9781416541530","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8b4296ba-589e-4216-83d7-8d7f9c257467.jpg?v=1603873868","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-night-of-the-gun-a-reporter-investigates-the-darkest-story-of-his-life-his-own-9781416541530","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
