The memoir of Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino, with Title “Sonny Boy” are due out in October from Penguin Random House.

“I wrote ‘Sonny Boy’ to capture what I saw and went through in my life. It has been an incredibly personal and revelatory experience to reflect on this journey, what acting has given me and what worlds it has opened up. My whole life has been a journey to the moon and so far I’m very lucky” the actor said in a statement.

It is “the memoir of a man who has nothing to fear and nothing to hide,” according to the publishing house’s announcement.

“Sonny Boy” will begin with his childhood in New York, with his “loving but mentally ill mother and her parents”, his group of young friends in the South Bronx and his attendance at the legendary High School of Performing Arts of New York.

It will then cover his involvement in New York’s pioneering theater scene in the 1960s and 1970s, before his big film success in the early 1970s with The Panic of Needle Park and the legendary films ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Godfather Part II’ as well as ‘Serpico’ and ‘Dog Day Afternoon’.
