STORIES I ONLY TELL MY FRIENDS is to be published May 2011 in hardback by Bamtam Press!

Intimate, honest, hilarious, and sometimes deeply moving, Lowe’s STORIES I ONLY TELL MY FRIENDS is his personal account of his life, both in show business and with his family, sobriety and fatherhood. The actor, political activist and now writer, looks back on his travails as a fledgling and misunderstood child actor in Ohio, his transition to rough, counter culture free-for-all that was Malibu in the mid seventies, his wild ride from as teen idol to movie star at the beginning of today’s youth movement in entertainment to his current status as one of Hollywood’s top actors.

Transworld editorial director Doug Young has acquired UK and Commonwealth rights, including serial, for publication here in the UK May 2011. “STORIES I ONLY TELL MY FRIENDS is a mid-career meditation on his four decades as an actor,” US president and publisher of Henry Holt & Co Stephen Rubin said. “All you have to do is read the first chapter to realize that you are in the hands of a masterful storyteller with a natural, funny and smart voice. This is as entertaining as a celebrity memoir can get.”
