My Name Is Barbra (book)

My Name Is Barbra is the forthcoming memoir by American entertainer Barbra Streisand.

Background

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, while an editor at Doubleday, sought to publish Streisand's memoir in 1984.[1] Streisand rejected the offer, feeling that at the age of 42, she was too young, and had more to achieve in the future.[1] Streisand subsequently began making notes, then started a journal in longhand in 1999.[1][2]

Viking Press announced in May 2015 that they would publish the long-awaited memoir, spanning Streisand's entire life and career, planned for release in 2017.[3]

Publication

The book's release is slated for November 2023,[4] spanning 992 pages in length.[1] The book has no index as Streisand wishes for readers to engage with the book from beginning to end without browsing for specific terms.[1]

Streisand narrates the audiobook edition, which features additional anecdotes.
