NEW YORK (AP) — A long-rumored and “unapologetic†memoir by Sen. John Fetterman will be released this fall, his publisher said.
Crown, an imprint of Penguin Random House, announced on Wednesday that “Unfettered†is scheduled for Nov. 11.
In the memoir, the Democrat will open up about his rise from mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, to national fame. The book also delves into his physical and mental health issues, including , and with both Republicans and members of his own party.
One of Washington's most recognizable politicians, known for his hoodies and for his imposing height of 6 feet, 8 inches, Fetterman worked on the book with Buzz Bissinger of “Friday Night Lights†fame.
“Fetterman reveals, for the first time, the full story of a life and career marked by battles, from his work with community leaders to revitalize Braddock to his recovery from the stroke that nearly ended his political career, to his lifelong struggles with the depression that landed him in Walter Reed ºÃÉ«tv Military Medical Center and nearly ended his life,†Crown's statement reads in part. “Raw and visceral, this memoir is an unapologetic account of his unconventional life, a reminder that public service comes in many forms, and a vision for fighting the battles that matter in a divided country.â€
