The creator of Deadwood and NYPD Blue reflects on his tumultuous life, driven by an insatiable creative energy and a matching penchant for self-destruction. Life's Work is a memoir from a brilliant mind taking stock as Alzheimer's loosens his hold on his own past.
What The Reviewers Say
Life’s Work is one of the best books about television I’ve read. It’s funny, discursive, literate, druggy, self-absorbed, fidgety, replete with intense perceptions.
An exigent reflection on a truly remarkable life, one that holds lessons about humanity and the power of art to make those lessons visible.
A deep investigation into creativity, a meditation on hope, and an earnest celebration of living..
A warts-and-all memoir.
