"Since the 1970s, Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning novels and short fiction featuring Matthew Scudder. Now, with both himself and his detective half a century older, the author found himself charged with writing a book about his protagonist. And he decided he wasn't the right person for the job. LB: "What was Matt's family like? How did he spend his childhood? What steered him toward the NYPD, and how did he get all the way from the Police Academy to a detective's gold shield?

There were certainly stories to be told, but that didn't mean I was the person to tell them. If Matt Scudder was to have a memoir, he ought to write it himself." So Block passed on the assignment to his most enduring fictional character, and the result-The Autobiography of Matthew Scudder-is a remarkable document, at once a convincing Bildungsroman and the indispensable capstone of an outstanding series."--Provided by publisher.
