CHICAGO --Bill Clinton's eagerly awaited memoir(自传), My Life, will be published this June, and is sure to ignite（点燃）a firestorm of interest in an already politically charged election year. Bill Clinton said that most presidential memoirs are thought to be "dull and self-serving, but I hope mine is interesting and self-serving.”

My Life, which is being published by Knopf and will sell for $ 35, is expected by many industry watchers to rise to the top of the best-seller lists.

Clinton said the book tells the story of his life from his birth and childhood in Arkansas to his years in the White House. From the book readers can have a look at his successes and setbacks.

He tells the story “as it happens to me, so you see what it's like to be president ... to see how everything happens at once.”

Without offering specifics or mentioning Monica Lewinsky, Clinton said, "I don't spare myself" in the book.

"I have no idea if this is a great book," he said, "but it's a pretty good story. "

Clinton was reportedly paid an advance of $10 million for the book, which was supposed to be done a year ago.

"The minute that book goes on sale, people will be lined up buying the book," said Bob Wietrak, a vice-president（副总统）and chief merchant for Barnes & Noble.

Some predict the 957-page book will be one of the few presidential memoirs to fly off shelves.
