I'm Dyin' HereA Life in the Paper eBook Tim Grobaty
Tim Grobaty's "I'm Dyin' Here: A Life in the Paper" is a raucously funny, touching and provocative memoir. Grobaty came to the Long Beach Press-Telegram in 1976; over the years, he morphed from copyboy to columnist, staying put in Long Beach. The book chronicles his journalism career from its dawn to the twilight of the newspaper. A longtime reader, I can truthfully say I have never read a Grobaty column without snorting with laughter. The book is just as funny. But it also showcases another side of the writer -- his own story is shadowed by the aftermath of his mother's early death. How he weaves in that tragedy demonstrates the funny man's depth. As Shaw said: "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."Product details

I'm Dyin' HereA Life in the Paper eBook Tim Grobaty Reviews
this guy is great. read everything, including his daily press telegram, he writes. love him
I enjoyed this book. I gained insights about the newspaper business and the life of an entertaining columnist.
A fabulous book. Interesting, nostalgic, moving and often hilarious. While reading at night with my husband asleep beside me, I had to stuff my pillowcase in my mouth to keep from waking him up with my laughter.
We are regular fans of Tim Grobaty's column in the Long Beach Press Telegram because of his hilariously wry wit and story telling ability. Now he has a book and we find it just as enjoyable, laughable and readable as his columns.
As funny as his columns in the Long Beach Press Telegram. It's like reliving history of that newspaper reading this book. Like many others newspapers, it's a shadow of itself. He's way too liberal but writes an entertaining column and this book.
As a daily reader and fan of newspapers, I was intrigued by Mr. Grobaty's chronicle of the decline of the newspaper business as seen through his experiences during forty years at one newspaper. His many columns included throughout the book had me cracking up. He is truly a humorist! Consider this book if your love newspapers or Long Beach, or if you just want some laughs from real newspaper columnist.
Tim Grobaty's funny, touching and extraordinarily well written account of his job, his family and his life will have you laughing and crying at the same time. A great read about my home town, and I was more than surprised to find my brother-in-law mentioned (right in the middle of things, as usual). Thank you Tim, for the great read and a sweet trip down memory lane. Read this book! It's excellent!
