Marion Barry’s life story as told by Marion Barry will be released in the form of an autobiography this June.

As the Post first pointed out, Mayor for Life: The Incredible Story of Marion Barry, Jr. is now available for pre-order on Amazon. From the synopsis:

In Mayor for Life, Marion Barry, Jr. tells all—including the story of his campaigns for mayor of Washington, his ultimate rise to power, his personal struggles and downfalls, and the night of embarrassment, followed by his term in federal prison and ultimately a victorious fourth term as mayor. From the man who, despite the setbacks, boldly served the community of Washington, D.C., this is his full story of courage, empowerment, hope, tragedy, triumph, and inspiration.

Barry first mentioned the book publicly in September 2012. We’re still waiting on that Spike Lee-directed biopic.
