Editing a posthumous memoir often involves thorny decisions. Paul Newman’s, based on hundreds of hours of interviews unearthed after he died, was no exception.
“It was, and still is, a fraught decision,” Melissa Newman says about her family choosing to publish, by her father, Paul Newman. When he died in 2008, the actor and director—famous for his blue eyes, charismatic swagger and leading-man status across a film career that spanned more than 50 years—didn’t leave behind a complete manuscript. Instead, he left more than 10,000 disorganized pages of transcripts based on hundreds of hours of interviews recorded for an autobiography that he’d abandoned.
Posthumous books are nothing new, but memoirs of the deceased present a distinct set of challenges, from questioning how much to disclose and what to leave out to how the subjects’ families and friends deal with the emotional toll.
