Nearing the End

I was born a bastard and I've been one ever since.

I was born a bastard and I've remained one ever since. I became a journalist. Now that I've just turned 80, I've written a memoir about my unhappy upbringing and my career. I've tried to make it mostly funny.
The book is entitled: I NEVER LOOKED FOR MY MOTHER and OTHER REGRETS OF A JOURNALIST.
