Frank Rich's New Memoir Papering The House Will Be Released in April

Theater critic and author Frank Rich’s new memoir Papering the House: A Memoir will be released by Penguin Press on April 6.

When Frank Rich was hired as the new drama critic for the New York Times in 1980, he found Broadway in crisis, struggling to fill its houses and survive the devastation AIDS would soon wreak upon its people. It was the end of an era, but as Rich discovered, the beginning of a second act.

In addition to being chief drama critic and an opinion columnist for the New York Times, Rich has been writer-at-large for New York Magazine. His books include The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina and his previous memoir Ghost Light.
