Stranger books editor Paul Constant is interviewing this
dude onstage, but I would have suggested this reading anyway.
The Night of the Gun is an obsessively fact-checked memoir in
which the compulsion to fact-check becomes part of the story, a
signal of the anxiety with which David Carr—now a reporter for
the New York Times—revisits his escalating
addictions to alcohol and cocaine, his rocky journalism career, and
his habit of hitting his girlfriends. The truths hurt.
