Private Parts is the first book written by American radio personality
Howard Stern. Released on October 7, 1993 by
Simon & Schuster, it is the fastest-selling book in the company's history. It was
later adapted into a film in 1997 starring Stern and
his radio show staff as themselves. The early chapters are autobiographical, covering Stern's upbringing and early career, while later chapters are more in the style of a
memoir, covering recurring themes from his radio show such as sex, flatulence, and celebrities.
