Reviews
"[A] fierce, self-lacerating tale....writing full of that special journalistic energy that is driven by a combination of reporting and intelligence." --Pete Hamill,The New York Times, "The Night of the Gunpulls a besmirched genre out of the gutter, drags it through rehab, and returns it to a respectable place in society."-- Arianna Huffington, "...[A] bracingly honest memoir. In sharp and sometimes poetic prose, the author takes a detailed inventory of his years of drug addiction....Carr is meticulous in the investigation of his past, reconstructing events with the aid of police reports, magazine rejection letters, and more than sixty interviews with friends, former dealers, and fellow-addicts. His journalistic skills are on full display as he works to excavate the truth from his often hazy memories. He evinces genuine remorse for his frequently reprehensible behavior and succeeds in creating something more than merely another entry in what he terms the "growing pile of junkie memoirs." --The New Yorker, "[An] arresting story of addiction and recovery....The Night of the Gunis in part a writerly exercise in defense and disarmament--memoir in the throes of an existential crisis. But that does not prevent it from being a great read. This is largely because, in using his reporter's chops to investigate his own past, Carr taps the very skills that propelled him to survive. His method, as much as his madness, is the story."--Time, "The Night of the Gun, is the fierce, funny, disturbing, brutally honest, and ultimately uplifting story of Carr's decent into a self-inflicted hell and a bumpy return to life. Part investigative page-turner, part redemption song, part meditation on the mercurial nature of memory,The Night of the Gunpulls a besmirched genre out of the gutter, drags it through rehab, and returns it to a respectable place in society. And, if there is any justice, a place on the best-seller list." -- Arianna Huffington on Veryshortlist.com, "There may be no memoirist who has more skillfully used journalistic tools to reconstruct his own life thanNew York Timesmedia columnist David Carr in his remarkable and harrowing book,The Night of the Gun....A." --Jennifer Reese,Entertainment Weekly, "[A] remarkable narrative of redemption...He writes with grace and precision...With grit and a recovering user's candor, Mr. Carr has written an arresting tale..." -- Edward Kosner,The Wall Street Journal, "There may be no memoirist who has more skillfully used journalistic tools to reconstruct his own life thanNew York Timesmedia columnist David Carr in his remarkable and harrowing book,The Night of the Gun. Carr takes as a given that our memories are suspect, compromised by the understandable desire to make a coherent story from shapeless experience, to cast ourselves in the role of hero (or dashing villain), and to inject a bit of drama when the plot begins to sag. [Carr] is an undeniably brilliant and dogged journalist, and he's written an unforgettable memoir."--Entertainment Weekly, "The Night of the Gunis in part a writerly exercise in defense and disarmament--memoir in the throes of an existential crisis. But that does not prevent it from being a great read. This is largely because, in using his reporter's chops to investigate his own past, Carr taps the very skills that propelled him to survive. His method, as much as his madness, is the story." --Time, "He never asks for sympathy, but his skill and the way he has told his story deserves respect.The Night of the Gunis an amazingly honest and fascinating memoir." -- Myrna Blyth,National Review, "The Night of the Gunis about as dark and murky as dark and murky get. And though it is one of the most eloquent accounts of the seduction and snare of addiction, what's gotten lost in the water-cooler discussion about Carr's misadventures -- including drug peddling as well as his bout with cancer -- is that this book, in its sharp, serrated prose, is a meditation on how memory works (but mostly how it doesn't), a man's obsessive effort to get at his life's true narrative using the skills he's honed as a reporter, the one piece of his life that didn't combust." -- George Lynell,L.A. Times, "After years of abuse, the memoir has found its white knight, galloping in to show how a personal story can be engrossing, shocking and true. Mr. Carr's book...practically issues a challenge to those current reigning kings -- David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, Ishmael Beah -- of the memoir genre: You get a video camera and tape recorder, and retrace the steps of your life. Will your story sound the same'...It adds up to a riveting, improbable story. More important, Mr. Carr has produced a work that stands to revive the excitement and thrill of reading about reporting. It'sAll the President's Men, but about a dude from Minnesota with a drug habit."--New York Observer Review of Books, "Misery, desperation, and the dawning realization of the monster you've become. I wept with nostalgia."-- Pete Dexter, author ofDeadwood, "Always fascinating, often disturbing, sometimes darkly comic, David Carr'sThe Night of the Gunreinvents the memoir genre by applying a dose of journalistic integrity. Carr's style is as elegant as his saga is gritty, and the story of his life is simply extraordinary. "-- Jeffrey Toobin, author ofThe Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme

Synopsis
"In one sense, my story is a common one, a white boy misdemeanant who lands in a ditch and is restored to sanity through the love of his family, a God of his understanding and a support group that will go unnamed. But if the whole truth is told, it does not end there. "The book will be fundamentally different than a tell-all, or more commonly, tell-most. It will be a rigorously clear-eyed reported memoir in which the process of discovery will be part of the narrative motor...For instance, my brother asked if I was going to give him credit for bailing me out after I was arrested for possession of pot as an 18-yr.-old in a Wisconsin state park. I had not even remembered the incident. "You remember the story you can live with, not the one that happened."
