“A breathtaking read . . . a testimony equal parts love and candor. David would have had it no other way.”—Ta-Nehisi Coates, bestselling author of Between the World and Me 

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GLAMOUR AND MARIE CLAIRE
Dad: What will set you apart is not talent but will and a certain kind of humility. A willingness to let the world show you things that you play back as you grow as an artist. Talent is cheap. 
Me: OK I will ponder these things. I am a Carr.
Dad: That should matter quite a bit, actually not the name but the guts of what that name means.
A celebrated journalist, bestselling author (The Night of the Gun), and recovering addict, David Carr was in the prime of his career when he suffered a fatal collapse in the newsroom of The New York Times in 2015. Shattered by his death, his daughter Erin Lee Carr, at age twenty-seven an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker, began combing through the entirety of their shared correspondence—1,936 items in total—in search of comfort and support.
What started as an exercise in grief quickly grew into an active investigation: Did her father’s writings contain the answers to the question of how to move forward in life and work without her biggest champion by her side? How could she fill the space left behind by a man who had come to embody journalistic integrity, rigor, and hard reporting, whose mentorship meant everything not just to her but to the many who served alongside him?
All That You Leave Behind is a poignant coming-of-age story that offers a raw and honest glimpse into the multilayered relationship between a daughter and a father. Through this lens, Erin comes to understand her own workplace missteps, existential crises, and relationship fails. While daughter and father bond over their mutual addictions and challenges with sobriety, it is their powerful sense of work and family that comes to ultimately define them.
This unique combination of Erin Lee Carr’s earnest prose and her father’s meaningful words offers a compelling read that shows us what it means to be vulnerable and lost, supported and found. It is a window into love, with all of its fierceness and frustrations.
“Thank you, Erin, for this beautiful book.  Now I am going to steal all of your father’s remarkable advice and tell my kids I thought of it.”—Judd Apatow.… (más)

I was a fan of David Carr which inspired me to read this memoir. It is a painfully honest account of Erin's struggles with the loss of her father and her own addiction. ( )

What a book! Erin writes of her memories of her father, growing up, his addiction journey, her dance with alcohol and other drugs, and trying to follow in his journalism footsteps. You'll laugh, cry, and try to have long talks with Erin. She is relentlessly honest about her own journey, and the huge impact her father, his life, and death has on her life. ( )

This memoir of Erin Carr's relationship with her Dad, David Carr is a good fit around Father's Day. Larger than life, he was her rock and sounding board, especially since they were both in the entertainment field, he as a NYT reporter and she as a filmmaker and producer for HBO and Netflix. When he died suddenly, in 2015, Erin had to face this loss with her twin Meagan, her step-sister Madeline and her step-mother Jill. Because of their closeness and likeness, the loss hits her the hardest and this book examines why. Erin is honest about her own shortcomings and battles with addiction (like her Dad) but what comes through clearly is her faith in him and vice versa. He is harsh on occasion with her, but he is always loving and always pushing her to be better professionally and personally. This can be a lot to live up to and sometimes Erin's help and praise-seeking seems self-punishing or self-destructive, but she is honest about that too. David Carr does not always come across as likeable, but he is admirable. And Erin makes her way admirably too. The narrative includes many personal email and text exchanges which show them both in their own words and that was my favorite part of the book. ( )

This memoir is partly Erin Lee Carr’s recounting of growing up with her father (writer David Carr), and partly her forging a career in media production, coming to terms with her alcoholism ... and being rocked by David’s sudden and early death.

Carr is in her mid-20s here, living and working independently. But her primary attachment is to her father and his death is an enormous loss. As a chronicle of her grief, and as an homage to him, it undoubtedly felt therapeutic to write. But as a published memoir, I wanted more reflection and growth. I wanted to sympathize and learn, not merely witness.
