Synopsis
In this funny, touching, and extremely candid memoir, actor Alan Alda (ne Alphonso D'Abruzzo) chronicles his early childhood on tour with his father, a burlesque and vaudeville performer; his travails dealing with his mother, a paranoid schizophrenic; his painful treatment for polio at age 7, and the challenges he faced as a young man in launching his acting career, which finally took off when he landed the role of Hawkeye on the hit TV show M*A*S*H*. Alda uses these reminiscences to illustrate the various, occasionally cockeyed life lessons he picked up along the way, including the wisdom expressed in the title: the awful expression on his dog's face when it returned from the taxidermist taught him not to cling to the past; when something or someone is gone, it's/they're gone.

Publisher's Note
A dramatic and entertaining memoir by the award-winning actor and director describes growing up with a schizophrenic mother and renowned actor father, looking at the various turning points in his life and exploring the world around him with humor, adventure, love, and curiosity. (Biography)

Industry Reviews
"[A] brief but entertaining autobiography tempered with humility and a depth rarely found in celebrity memoirs."
Publishers Weekly (09/05/2005)

"Alda does what a writer, even one with five Emmy Awards, plus Tony and Oscar nominations, should. He tells a story, with detail, generous amounts of humor, sometimes painful honesty and insight....[H]e does what M*A*S*H* did: He leaves you wanting more. A nice trick, that. It makes you like the guy even more."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (09/14/2005)
