Everyone knows William Shatner--as Captain James T. Kirk, or T.J. Hooker, or Denny Crane on BOSTON LEGAL--but there are few who truly know the full wacky and wonderful range of his life and career. In his light-hearted and self-deprecating autobiography, UP TILL NOW, Shatner takes his readers on a cavalcade of anecdotes and misadventures: starring in the world's only movie spoken entirely in Esperanto; becoming an unwilling paramour to Koko, the "talking" gorilla; singing some of the worst cover songs in history; and seeing aliens in the desert. The campy strangeness of Shatner's life is zany fun, but the book also looks seriously at the great tragedy of his life, the death of his alcoholic third wife by drowning.
