No, what Arnie (anyone who suffered the film Junior has earned the right to such familiarity) has done is write a political autobiography, which is a very different beast. Trust me, I have a degree in celebrity autobiographies from TMZ.com University, and this is not a contribution to that noble genre. The first thing to say is that this is not a celebrity autobiography. Thank you, celebrity gods! Tools down, everyone – it's a Lost in Showbiz book group special. While LiS is dismayed to lose its long-running bet that the title would be I Told You I'd Be Back – And I Am!, the subtitle does provide consolations with its pleasing similarity to Gary Shteyngart's tale of a plucky immigrant in America, Super Sad True Love Story, but Arnified. O ho! What gift is this from the celebrity gods, floating down on to the Lost in Showbiz desk? Why, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger's 650-page autobiography, Total Recall – My Unbelievably True Life Story.
