About this item

Howie Carr's latest book, Paper Boy, is a tell-all memoir of his life in print journalism, radio, and television. Gangster Whitey Bulger wanted him dead. Sen. Ted Kennedy tried to put his newspaper out of business. Gov. Mike Dukakis called him a "sociopath," and 60 Minutes called him a "radio hitman." The Boston Globe devoted a series to him—Poisoned Politics. Howie Carr—for more than 40 years, he has embodied "the tabloid talk-show stuff in Boston," as Whitey's brother Billy told a Congressional committee. Now for the first time Howie is telling his own story, in his own words—from the early days at Boston City Hall to hanging out at Mar-a-Lago with President Donald Trump. You’ll get a no-holds-barred account of his entire career, from City Hall to local tv news, his battles against Whitey Bulger, the Kennedys, the bow-tied bumkissers, and then finally taking ownership of his own show. Howie names names and kicks butt in his own inimitable and hilarious style. They don't make newspaper memoirs like Paper Boy anymore! "How do you know you’re doing your job as a journalist? When the Mob decides to assassinate you. Not many of us can claim that honor, but Howie Carr can—that and much more. What a life. It’s all here, and well worth reading.” -Tucker Carlson
