The ones that make us look good in the rearview mirror? In \u003ci\u003eThe Night of the Gun\u003c\/i\u003e, David Carr redefines memoir with the revelatory story of his years as an addict and chronicles his journey from crack-house regular to regular columnist for\u003ci\u003e The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. Built on sixty videotaped interviews, legal and medical records, and three years of reporting, \u003ci\u003eThe Night of the Gun\u003c\/i\u003e is a ferocious tale that uses the tools of journalism to fact-check the past.
