“Would I like to probe him a bit more about his son’s death?” says Peter Gethers (who acquired ‘The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man’ for Knopf) about the challenge of editing a memoir by a non-living writer. “Would I like to probe him more about the drinking?” Newman is seen here in 1963 on a water taxi in Venice. “It was, and still is, a fraught decision,” Melissa Newman says about her family choosing to publish The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man: A Memoir, by her father, Paul Newman. 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. These were edited into a book Knopf will publish on October 18.

Much later in his career, Newman’s voice became an equally striking feature. Unlike the eyes, the voice had to be earned; it was no pretty boy’s birthright. Decades of smoking, drinking and pain produced a rusty baritone that could narrate its way to the very soul of a man’s regret.
