Streisand Will Release First Memoir this Fall — Page 2

As I posted earlier, that is not the confirmed cover photo for the book. They are supposed to release the correct photo for the cover in a few months ( end of Spring).

The book listing it now up for preorder on audible.

I believe her editor considered it a thrill and an honor, the happy culmination of a long and distinguished career.

So you're telling us the gig went well?

BWAY Baby2 said: "The cover photo is perfect- it focuses on the nose- and her offbeat beauty. It says- here I am, this is me, and I am proud and confident---a very dramatic and glamorous photo- I doubt it will be tossed aside for a typical Hollywood star photo- this photo says it all- and my bet is it will be the final cover shot."

Agreed. I hope they keep the photo. I'm glad she chose to stick with the classic Century Expanded Italic font she's used since her debut album in the design.

I image she would be sitting on an upper level near an escalator where people would send their books up and she would then send them back down, stopping every so often to wave down to the line.

I’m about two hours into the 48 hour run time of the audio book. I still can’t believe she recorded the entire thing - I’m dying to know how long it took.


This will be like Patti’s book, one I can’t imagine just reading as it’s so much more interesting to hear the author tell their story in their own words. And while I don’t have the text here with me to compare, it very much sounds like she goes off of it every so often, adding little side anecdotes. And she’s such a master at this, it doesn’t sound at all like she’s reading, it sounds like you’re sitting there with her while she tells you these stories.

Right?? Think of how many takes she must have done. How many times did she listen back to the recording, only to re-record a particular line until she was completely satisfied with everything?

She said on STERN this morning it took her 3 months to record it.

All I care to about is reading about her relationship with Agassi who she called a "Zen Master" in 1992 - just teasing. Seems "Babs" was a "cougar" before it became fashionable dating Agassi who was almost 30 years younger and had great hair back then - ha ha.

I’ve listened to a little over two hours of the audiobook so far. While listening, I’m also following along with the Kindle ebook. I’ve never enjoyed audiobooks over printed or electronic versions of the same work…but this audiobook is absolutely the way to go for this memoir! The audiobook comes across as very conversational and it is peppered with little asides and added tidbits that, while never radically straying from what is on the printed page, make for a more entertaining experience.
