At the age of 92, Norman Lear, the man who defined your childhood and captivated 120 million weekly TV viewers, has finally written his memoir. Discover how his colorful life influenced such characters as Archie Bunker, Maude, George Jefferson and Mary Hartman. Lear shares with readers tales from his childhood, from war, from Hollywood, and from the rest of life 

[A] feisty, thoughtful autobiography… Lear pens sharply observed studies of the creative process on his many iconic productions and bares plenty of raucous, sometimes bawdy anecdotes. In keeping with the bigoted, mouthy, complex and loveable characters he created, Lear's knack for sizing up a flawed humanity makes for an absorbing read. – Publishers Weekly

EVEN THIS is not just the brilliant, moving story of a man who has lived an amazing number of lives—from making it onto Richard Nixon’s ‘Enemies List’ to changing the face of television—but also a life manual on how to live a life of depth, purpose, and meaning. - Arianna Huffington
