I Want to Thank My Brain for Remembering Me - A Memoir (Paperback, Large type / large print edition)

The legendary newspaperman Jimmy Breslin remembers: Riding in a helicopter with the Beatles . . . Interviewing JFK's gravedigger . . . Spreading the news, at age eleven, of his mother's suicide attempt . . . Catching Joe McCarthy in a lie . . . Confronting the prospect of brain surgery . . . Escaping a Brooklyn race riot . . . Falling in love at first sight, in a Queens bar, with a woman he would marry . . . Running for public office on a ticket with Norman Mailer . . .

What it all adds up to: an extraordinary life, movingly and hilariously recalled in a memoir written with all the brashness, candor, and style that have distinguished Jimmy Breslin's celebrated newspaper columns and made him one of the most admired and enjoyed journalists of our time.
