This summer. On next Question with Me, Katie Couric, I'm celebrating the shortest season with the fun Summer series on books, and not just any books. I just love that single voice kind of crying out in the wilderness of life experience memoirs. I just finished writing my own memoir, which comes out this October, so I wanted to spend some time with other people who have shared their stories and
put themselves on the page. And I have such an interesting range of guests, people you might know, like Sharon Stone. I think the whole world is probably aware of how much I didn't have boundaries or admire like former Xerox CEO or Sula Burns. I think that this is the dream of America embodied in my mother. She did it or have followed from Afar like Amanda Klutz. I didn't hug him, I didn't kiss him. I dropped him off at the corner of Cedar SINAI. I don't even know
if he said goodbye to Elvis. I mean, we really thought i'd pick him up in a couple of hours. And there's so much to talk about the pain of writing. It's not like making a movie or you know, making a show, This is your life, this is you. I'm not a writer, I don't pretend to even be one, and when this thing started, I could not believe that I had committed to do this. There were sometimes I couldn't even see the keyboard or what I was typing
because I was crying so hard. The personal revelations. It wasn't so strange to bring your kids to a commune like camp in the middle of Canada. I was tired of hurting people, and I was tired of hurting myself and the triumphs I have for five seconds the control of the narrative about me. Whether you love memoirs, are looking for some good reads for your much deserved vacation, or just want to escape without leaving your home, We've got it all for you right here on Next Question.
