She writes about how misguided it was to interview the “white victims of the L.A. In some ways she succeeds and in some ways you hope she continues to dig. So judging the book can be, in part, an exercise in sifting through the process of personal excavation by a woman who, in the course of an approximately 40-year career had to learn how to maneuver through the corridors of power, but who also held plenty of her own and who is, it must be noted, making money off the process via book sales. I carry around a lot of guilt about everything.”Ĭouric started writing the book about three years ago, and in that time the country has gone through its very fair share of reckonings, from #MeToo to George Floyd.
“I didn’t feel as if I could be honest about other people and my external experiences, if I wasn’t honest about what was happening and what I was thinking and how I was reacting to certain situations. “I think I’m very hard on myself in general and question myself a lot, like off the written page,” she told me recently over Zoom after saying that the road has been long and tiring. Because such is the nature of a tell-all tour, she has continued to explain. She’ll soon hit Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Nashville. This is all extracurricular work for her book tour proper, she’s been to New York Boston Washington, D.C. Before the New York magazine profile, the prodigal daughter returned to Today, and later she sparred on The View. I highly recommend Katie Couric’s memoir! Thank you to booktrib.If Katie Couric’s book, Going There, was a 500-plus-page marathon, then the press tour has been an ultra. Katie shares her achievements, her grief, her regrets and her love for family amidst the backdrop of so many important memories and universal milestones in our lives in this fast paced book. So much was going on behind her bright eyes and in Going There she tells all.įrom the meaningful relationship with her father, the devastating loss of her beloved husband, her challenges being a female in a man’s world of tv news broadcasting, to the Matt Lauer scandal, raising her daughters on her own, braving the dating world (she went out with some guys I would have never expected!) and finding love again, Katie Couric was and is more than just what we see on our tv screens. When my kids were little, I was a loyal Today Show viewer and, like most who turned to NBC every morning, became a Katie Couric fan. So many tears and lol moments… this was a joy, a walk down memory lane, and an eye-opener. I loved this memoir amidst the backdrop of modern history.
