"A Writer's Life" is a 2006 autobiography by Gay Talese. The book focuses on many of the stories that Talese attempted to tell, but failed, such as spending six months working on a story about John and Lorena Bobbitt for "The New Yorker" only to have the piece rejected by "New Yorker" editor Tina Brown.
