“This is t a tritional memoir, or an vice book, but rar a playbook based on ventures in my life,” McConaughey, 50, said in a statement about “Greenlights,” which comes out Oct. 20. “ventures that have been significant, enlightening, and funny, sometimes because y were meant to be but mostly because y didn’t try to be.”
