Deadwood creator David Milch is writing a memoir that will address his gambling addiction and Alzheimer's diagnosis

The Hollywood Reporter

Random House describes Milch's memoir Life’s Work, which is scheduled to be released on Sept. 13, as a book from a "noted heroin and gambling addict." The book features “a ferocious mind (grappling) with the bewildering effects of Alzheimer’s by looking back, making what sense he can of a life of addiction, recovery, loss and creation, abuse and life-saving kindness, and the increasingly strange present and future he now faces.”
