The Autobiography
by Eric Clapton
With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, he is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys.
"[B]oth the youthful excesses and the current calm state are narrated with an engaging tone that nudges Clapton's story ahead of other rock 'n' roll memoirs." - PW.
"Weakest on musical recollections and career arcs, but some overwhelmingly poignant and wrenching personal meditations make the book a success. " - Kirkus Reviews.
