Simon & Schuster announced Wednesday that it will publish a memoir by James Garner. “The Garner Files” is due to hit shelves in November 2011.Click here for more info from the Los Angeles Times’ Jacket Copy blog.
“I’ve avoided writing a book until now because I feel like I’m really pretty average, and I didn’t think anyone would care about my life. I’m still a little uncomfortable, but I finally agreed, because people I trust persuaded me people might be interested and because I realized it would allow me to acknowledge those who’ve helped me along the way. I talk about my childhood, try to clear up some misconceptions, and even settle a score or two,” Garner said in a press release.
Simon & Schuster’s publisher, Jonathan Karp, added, “This book is charming and disarming and always entertaining--just like James Garner, or Jim Rockford, or Bret Maverick. And it’s the story of a big American life, from growing up in Oklahoma during the Depression to the Korean War and to Hollywood stardom.”

I'll be reading.
I hope Garner is okay. He had a stroke a few years back ... and all I heard was negative. He has always been one of the good guys. I wish him the absolute best wishes. And yes I will get his book.
Jim Garner did have a stroke, but he is perfectly fine now. No lingering deficits at all.
No matter what nutty rumors you hear, Jim is doing great except some issues with arthritis. I certainly know about THAT. :)
Thanks for bringing us that good news, Suzanne. I hope Mr. Garner has many happy years and memories ahead of him.
Cheers,
Jeff
