Will

Will Smith's memoir starts in West Philadelphia with a childhood he spent a long time trying to outrun, and follows the decades in which fame did not settle the question. The book moves through music, television and film, but gives at least as much space to fear, discipline and the family relationships that shaped how he worked. Smith writes candidly about the cost of relentless ambition and about the later effort to understand himself rather than simply achieve more, keeping the tone direct and often self-critical. In brief: • Autobiography by Will Smith covering childhood through global fame • Traces his path across rap, television and cinema • Frank about fear, ambition and personal reckoning • Carried in the Penguin Publications English-language edition For readers of celebrity memoir and reflective personal narrative, the Penguin edition is available at Boipoka.
