Al Pacino’s memoir is out today — Here’s how to read ‘Sonny Boy’ for $1
· New York PostAl Pacino, an icon of American stage and screen is finally telling all about his storied career in his anticipated memoir “Sonny Boy,” which is out today.
The memoir is one of “a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide,” as Pacino goes in-depth to give his great roles, collaborators, and films their full due. This includes, of course, collaborations with Francis Ford Coppola on “The Godfather” and its sequel, and two of Pacino’s star-making collaborations with Sidney Lumet: “Serpico” in 1973 and “Dog Day Afternoon” in 1975.
But even while examining the low points of his career, “the spirit of love and purpose” is the memoir’s “golden thread.” Pacino notes that he fell in love with acting “before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards” and never fell out of it.
“Sonny Boy” is out today, October 15, but if you want to beat the library waitlists (already several months long via New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library), here’s an easy way to check it out now just just $1, no waitlists required.
