Gucci Mane is finally sharing his side of the story in a new memoir titled Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man.
The new memoir — which was co-written by Gucci and hip-hop journalist and educator Kathy Iandoliis — is situated into a series of episodes (hence the name) from the rapper’s life, where Gucci revisits pivotal moments like dropping Billboard chart-topping hits to accumulating a lengthy rap sheet. The rapper’s second memoir, following up 2017’s The Autobiography of Gucci Mane, can be purchased now on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble.
A hardcover version of the book is currently on sale for 30% off on Amazon, selling for $20.30. Meanwhile, the hardcover is $29 at Barnes & Noble. Both platforms have eBook or Kindle versions of the memoir.
This memoir offers a vital perspective into Gucci’s past, highlighting his struggles with recent schizophrenia and bipolar diagnoses, along with his drug addiction. The rapper delves into his tumultuous career, providing readers with needed background concerning his mental state at the time.
Peppered throughout the memoir, Gucci interviews medical professionals and mental health experts to provide insight into mental health awareness, providing readers with more context. The book goes out of its way to reveal hefty truths about the star’s life beyond the glitz and glamor of fame.
If you’re interested in learning more about Gucci and his story, we highly recommend checking out his earlier book The Autobiography of Gucci Mane, co-authored by former music editor Neil Martinez-Belkin. While the 2025 offering is meant to clear things up and provide context, the 2017 entry reads like a standard autobiography, taking readers through Gucci’s upbringing in Alabama to his rise as a trap music pioneer in Atlanta.
