Menino Will Write Memoir

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino (D) “has inked a deal to author a book chronicling his life, career, and long reign in City Hall’s corner office,” the Boston Globe reports.

Said Menino: “It’s a story of my 20 years as mayor, the things we’ve dealt with, and the changes we’ve seen.”

“The book will be co-written by Jack Beatty, an author and political analyst for public radio… He is the author of The Rascal King, published in 2000, which is considered the definitive account of former Boston mayor and Massachusetts governor James Michael Curley.”
