This week, Memoir Nation connects with comedian Roy Wood Jr. on the serious topic of legacy—what we inherit and what we pass on. Wood’s new memoir, The Man of Many Fathers, explores the many influences in his life, and how a complicated relationship with his own father, including losing him when Wood was just sixteen, informs how he parents his son. This is a touching and heartfelt interview about life, loss, and the hope we all have for our children, or the children in our lives. For the Book Trend, we tap into a bit of darkness in honor of Halloween, and offer up a few forthcoming true crime memoirs that are getting some early buzz. Roy Wood Jr. is a two-time Emmy-nominated writer and producer. He is a comedian, actor, and podcaster who is primarily known for his stand-up comedy and work as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show for eight years and hosting CNN’s Have I Got News for You. He hosted the 2023 White House Correspondents’ dinner and this year’s 85th Peabody Awards. He has created original half-hour scripted projects at FOX, NBC, and Comedy Central. He is the former host of the award-winning Comedy Central podcast The Daily Show: Beyond the Scenes. He remains a regular guest star on various ESPN shows, and he lives in New York.
