By Adriana Balaguer. 2011
Nacer y crecer en la tapa de los diarios Si todos los hijos llevan marcas de quienes fueron sus padres,…
los que han heredado un apellido influyente suman una dificultad: deben aprender a vivir en público, frente a millones de personas que los ven crecer y tomar decisiones, y que fácilmente les transfieren los prejuicios y sentimientos que les han provocado sus padres, antes de que los herederos puedan confirmarlos o desmentirlos. El hijo del empresario exitoso, del futbolista idolatrado, del sindicalista próspero, del político mediático o del presidente de la Nación puede usar el poder paterno como trampolín para su propia carrera, imitar a sus padres hasta casi transformarse en ellos, tomar distancia para pasar desapercibido, protagonizar frívolos escándalos mediáticos o tratar de inmortalizar su legado. Puede llevar el apellido como una bendición o como un estigma, pero nunca sólo como una marca de identidad. Hijos del poder recorre las vidas privadas de Máximo y Florencia Kirchner, Matías Garfunkel, Claudia Rucci, Ricardo Alfonsín, Pablo Moyano, Tomás Costantini, Dalma Maradona, Antonio y Fernando #Aíto# de la Rúa, Carlos Nair Menem y los hijos de Eduardo Duhalde. Son diez retratos que enlazan anécdotas y detalles íntimos y poco conocidos, y logran per_les reveladores de personajes cuyos padres marcaron la historia argentina reciente. Por eso, este libro puede leerse también como el relato del modo en que se construye, se mantiene y se pierde el poder en la Argentina.Maribel Verdú

By Suzanne Finstad. 2002
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive biography of a vulnerable and talented actress, now with explosive new chapters and insider details…
of her tragic death, the cover-ups, and the reopened investigation. An ID Book Club Selection • &“Impressive, disturbing, and revelatory.&”—Variety Natalie Wood has been hailed alongside Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor as one of the top three female movie stars in film history. We watched her mature on the movie screen before our eyes in classics such as Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel Without a Cause, Splendor in the Grass, and West Side Story. But the story of what she endured, of what her life was like when the doors of the soundstages closed, had long been obscured. Based on years of astonishing research, Natalie Wood (previously published as Natasha) raises the curtain on Wood&’s turbulent life. Award-winning author Suzanne Finstad conducted nearly four hundred interviews with Natalie Wood&’s family, close friends, legendary costars, lovers, film crews, and virtually everyone connected to her death. Through these firsthand accounts, Finstad reconstructs a life of emotional abuse and exploitation, of unimaginable fame, great loneliness, and loss. She reveals painful truths in Wood&’s complex relationships with James Dean, Frank Sinatra, Warren Beatty, and, of course, Robert Wagner. Thirty years after Natalie Wood&’s death, the L.A. Sheriff&’s Department reopened the investigation into her drowning using Finstad&’s groundbreaking research and chilling, hour-by-hour timeline of that tumultuous weekend as evidence. Within a year, the L.A. Coroner changed Natalie Wood&’s death certificate from &“Accidental Drowning&” to &“Drowning and Other Undetermined Factors.&” In 2018, the LASD officially named Wagner a &“Person of Interest&” in Wood&’s death. In this updated edition, Finstad will share her explosive findings from the last two decades. With her unprecedented access to the LAPD&’s &“Murder Book,&” ignored by the original investigators, and new witnesses who have never spoken publicly, Finstad uncovers what really happened to Natalie Wood on that fateful boating trip in 1981 with Wagner and Christopher Walken. She expands on intimate details from Wood&’s unpublished memoir, which affirms her fear of drowning and the betrayal by Wagner that shattered their first marriage. Finstad tells this heartbreaking story with sensitivity and grace, revealing a complex and conflicting mix of fragility and strength in a woman who was swept along by forces few could have resisted.Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker
By Barry Sonnenfeld. 2020
Film and television director Barry Sonnenfeld's outrageous and hilarious memoir traces his idiosyncratic upbringing in New York City, his breaking…
into film as a cinematographer with the Coen brothers, and his unexpected career as the director behind such huge film franchises as The Addams Family and Men in Black, and beloved work like Get Shorty, Pushing Daises, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.Barry Sonnenfeld's philosophy is, "Regret the Past. Fear the Present. Dread the Future." Told in his unmistakable voice, Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother is a laugh-out-loud memoir about coming of age. Constantly threatened with suicide by his over-protective mother, disillusioned by the father he worshiped, and abused by a demonic relative, Sonnenfeld somehow went on to become one of Hollywood's most successful producers and directors.Written with poignant insight and real-life irony, the book follows Sonnenfeld from childhood as a French horn player through graduate film school at NYU, where he developed his talent for cinematography. His first job after graduating was shooting nine feature length pornos in nine days. From that humble entrée, he went on to form a friendship with the Coen Brothers, launching his career shooting their first three films.Though Sonnenfeld had no ambition to direct, Scott Rudin convinced him to be the director of The Addams Family. It was a successful career move. He went on to direct many more films and television shows. Will Smith once joked that he wanted to take Sonnenfeld to Philadelphia public schools and say, "If this guy could end up as a successful film director on big budget films, anyone can." This book is a fascinating and hilarious roadmap for anyone who thinks they can't succeed in life because of a rough beginning.Xenakis: His Life in Music
By James Harley. 2011

Xenakis’s compositional development, James Harley, who studied with Xenakis, presents the works together with clear explanations of the technical and conceptual innovations that shaped them. Harley examines the relationship between the composer and two early influences: Messiaen and Le Corbusier. Particular attention is paid to analyzing works which were vital to the composer’s creative development, from early, unpublished works to the breakthrough pieces Metastasis and Pithoprakta, through the oft-discussed decade of formalization and the evolving styles of the succeeding three decades.Indianapolis Rhythm and Blues (Images of America)
By David Leander Williams. 2019
Indiana Avenue was traditionally the host to some of America's premier, world-renown entertainment icons in various genres. Along this winding,…
brightly lit thoroughfare were nightclubs, lounges, supper clubs, taverns, juke joints, and holes-in-the-wall that celebrated the best of the best in entertainment that America had to offer, from the 1920s on into the 1970s. On the bandstand at Denver Ferguson's Sunset Terrace Ballroom, the elegantly attired crooner Nat King Cole, in a sparkling blue silk suit, delivered his signature song "Mona Lisa." Nearby, B.B. King sang his 1973 down-home blues classic "To Know You is to Love You." At Tuffy Mitchell's Pink Poodle nightclub, "Moms" Mabley made the audience roar with laughter during her sidesplitting comedy routine. Indiana Avenue truly was the place to be for the best in entertainment.Historic Theaters of New York's Capital District (Landmarks)
By John A. Miller. 2018
For generations, residents of New York's Capital District have flocked to the region's numerous theaters. The history behind the venues…
is often more compelling than the shows presented in them. John Wilkes Booth brushed with death on stage while he and Abraham Lincoln were visiting Albany. The first exhibition of broadcast television was shown at Proctor's Theater in Schenectady, although the invention ironically contributed to the downfall of theaters across the nation. A fired manager of the Green Street Theatre seized control of the theater with a group of armed men, but Albany police stormed the building and the former manager regained control. Author John A. Miller charts the entertaining history.Houdini: The Elusive American (Jewish Lives)
By Adam Begley. 2020
From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, an exuberant biography of the world&’s greatest escape artist In 1916, the war in Europe…
having prevented a tour abroad, Harry Houdini wrote a film treatment for a rollicking motion picture. Though the movie was never made, its title, &“The Marvelous Adventures of Houdini: The Justly Celebrated Elusive American,&” provides a succinct summary of the Master Mystifier&’s life. Born Erik Weisz in Budapest in 1874, Houdini grew up an impoverished Jewish immigrant in the Midwest and became world-famous thanks to talent, industry, and ferocious determination. He concealed as a matter of temperament and professional ethics the secrets of his sensational success. Nobody knows how Houdini performed some of his dazzling, death-defying tricks, and nobody knows, finally, why he felt compelled to punish and imprison himself over and over again. Must a self-liberator also be a self-torturer? Tracking the restless Houdini&’s wide-ranging exploits, acclaimed biographer Adam Begley asks the essential question: What kind of man was this?About Jewish Lives: Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity. Individual volumes illuminate the imprint of Jewish figures upon literature, religion, philosophy, politics, cultural and economic life, and the arts and sciences. Subjects are paired with authors to elicit lively, deeply informed books that explore the range and depth of the Jewish experience from antiquity to the present. In 2014, the Jewish Book Council named Jewish Lives the winner of its Jewish Book of the Year Award, the first series ever to receive this award.More praise for Jewish Lives: &“Excellent.&” – New York times &“Exemplary.&” – Wall St. Journal &“Distinguished.&” – New Yorker &“Superb.&” – The GuardianA unique concept: 40 extraordinary people give answers to 10 searching questions about their beliefs.

Morató. Las historias de estas cuatro grandes estrellas de cine nos trasladan a la época dorada de Hollywood. Tenían el mundo a sus pies, contaban con una legión de admiradores y protagonizaron sonados romances con los galanes más atractivos. Verdaderas diosas a los ojos del público, fueron las más deseadas y fotografiadas del mundo. La temperamental e indomable Ava Gardner, la deslumbrante sex symbol Rita Hayworth, la elegante y sensual Grace Kelly o la gran diva de los ojos violeta Elizabeth Taylor hicieron soñar a millones de espectadores. Más allá del lujo y el glamour, fueron mujeres de carne y hueso, vulnerables, tímidas e inseguras que solo deseaban ser amadas. Pero el amor les fue esquivo y sus vidas estuvieron marcadas por la soledad, los divorcios, las adicciones, los malostratos y los desengaños. Todas pagaron un elevado precio por llegar a lo más alto. Cristina Morató nos descubre el lado más humano de estas inolvidables estrellas del siglo XX, protagonistas de una vida mucho más intensa y dramática que la de cualquiera de los personajes que interpretaron en la gran pantalla. «En Hollywood, a las actrices nos trataban como si no tuviéramos alma».Ava GardnerMy Sister: How One Sibling's Transition Changed Us Both
By Selenis Leyva, Marizol Leyva. 2020
A powerful memoir by two sisters about transitioning, family, and the path to self-realization.When Orange Is the New Black and…
Diary of a Future President star Selenis Leyva was young, her hardworking parents brought a new foster child into their warm, loving family in the Bronx. Selenis was immediately smitten; she doted on the baby, who in turn looked up to Selenis and followed her everywhere. The little boy became part of the family. But later, the siblings realized that the child was struggling with their identity. As Marizol transitioned and fought to define herself, Selenis and the family wanted to help, but didn't always have the language to describe what Marizol was going through or the knowledge to help her thrive.In My Sister, Selenis and Marizol narrate, in alternating chapters, their shared journey, challenges, and triumphs. They write honestly about the issues of violence, abuse, and discrimination that transgender people and women of color--and especially trans women of color--experience daily. And they are open about the messiness and confusion of fully realizing oneself and being properly affirmed by others, even those who love you.Profoundly moving and instructive, My Sister offers insight into the lives of two siblings learning to be their authentic selves. Ultimately, theirs is a story of hope, one that will resonate with and affirm those in the process of transitioning, watching a loved one transition, and anyone taking control of their gender or sexual identities.Save Yourself: Essays
By Cameron Esposito. 2020
From rising comedy star Cameron Esposito, a memoir that is "as hilarious and honest as she is on the stage,"…
tackling the big issues explored in her comedy, including gender, sexuality and feminism - and how her Catholic childhood prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian in ways the Pope could never have imagined (Abby Wambach).Cameron Esposito wanted to be a priest and ended up a stand-up comic. Now she would like to tell the whole queer as hell story. Her story. Not the sidebar to a straight person's rebirth-she doesn't give a makeover or plan a wedding or get a couple back together. This isn't a queer tragedy. She doesn't die at the end of this book, having finally decided to kiss the girl. It's the sexy, honest, bumpy, and triumphant dyke's tale her younger, wasn't-allowed-to-watch-Ellen self needed to read. Because there was a long time when she thought she wouldn't make it. Not as a comic, but as a human. SAVE YOURSELF is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasn't in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if you're, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was). Packed with heart, humor, and cringeworthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty, fallen in love, started a career, or had period sex in Rome can relate to, Cameron's memoir is for that timid, fenced-in kid in all of us-and the fearless stand-up yearning to break free.Apropos of Nothing
By Woody Allen. 2020
The long-awaited, enormously entertaining memoir by one of the great artists of our time. In this candid and often hilarious…
memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run, and revisits his entire, sixty-year-long, and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Annie and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris. Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances and famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure. This is a hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time. A New York Times BestsellerFrom the Shtetl to the Stage: The Odyssey of a Wandering Actor
By Alexander Granach. 2010
Alexander Granach, who died while he was acting on Broadway in 1945, brilliantly relates the remarkable story of his unlikely…
path from a poverty-stricken, rough-and-tumble childhood to success on the German stage. This is the account of a daring, curiosity-filled, and perceptive Jewish child from poor towns in Galicia who was seized with a passion for the theater when he saw his first show at the age of 14. He overcame great odds to become a leading stage and film actor in Weimar Germany - and he had to have both legs broken to do it! Born in what is now southern Ukraine, Granach began working at the age of six in his father's bakery, where his heavy tasks left him visibly knock-kneed. With very little formal education but open for adventure and willing to work hard, Alexander ran away several times, the last time to Berlin, at the age of 16, where his talent and charm won him a place in Max Reinhardt's theater school. His career was abruptly interrupted by World War I and his time as a prisoner of war in Italy, but after a daring escape and the end of the war he resumed his rise to prominence in German artistic life. A natural storyteller, Granach's autobiography captures equally the charms, adventures, and trials of his shtetl days, the horrors of trench warfare, and the glamour and excitement of the German theater before Hitler came to power.Howling Near Heaven: Twyla Tharp and the Reinvention of Modern Dance

By Colton Underwood. 2020
From former football player and star of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette comes a fascinating and eye-opening behind-the-scenes look at…
his drama-filled season on the hit reality show. Before Colton Underwood captured the hearts of millions on The Bachelor, he was a goofy, socially awkward, overweight adolescent who succeeded on the football field while struggling with personal insecurities off it. An All American gridiron hero, he was also a complex, sometimes confused, soft-hearted romantic wondering how these contradictions fit together. Old-fashioned and out of step with the swipe right dating culture of today, he was saving the most intimate part of life for the love of his life. If only he could find her… Now, in The First Time, Colton opens up about how he came to find himself and true love at the same time via the Bachelor franchise. Unencumbered by cameras and commercial breaks, he delivers a surprisingly raw, endearing, and seriously juicy account of his journey through The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Bachelor, along with what has happened with him and Cassie Randolph since his season wrapped. He opens up about being dumped by Becca, his secret dalliance with Tia, what it was like to be the world’s most famous virgin, his behind-the-scenes conflicts with production, and how his on-camera responsibilities as the Bachelor nearly destroyed him after he knew he had already fallen in love with Cassie. A memoir for Bachelor Nation and anyone who believes in the magic of love, The First Time carries a simple but powerful message: It’s okay to laugh and cry and occasionally jump over a fence, if it means coming one step closer to the right person.
