Krátky popis
I feel like I'm on a boat sailing to some island where I don't know
anybody. I'm on a boat someone is operating and we aren't in
touch.So begins David Milch's urgent accounting of his increasingly
strange present and often painful past. From the start, Milch's
life seems destined to echo that of his father, a successful if
drug-addicted surgeon. Almost every achievement is accompanied by
an act of self-immolation, but the deepest sadnesses also contain
moments of grace.Betting on race horses and stealing booze at eight
years old, mentored by Robert Penn Warren and excoriated by Richard
Yates at twenty-one, Milch never did anything by half. He got into
Yale Law only to be expelled for shooting out streetlights with a
shotgun. He paused his studies at the Iowa Writers' Workshop to
manufacture acid in Cuernavaca. He created and wrote some of the
most lauded television series of all time, made a family and
pursued sobriety, and then lost his fortune betting horses just as
his father had taught him.Like Milch's best screenwriting, Life's
Work explores how chance encounters, self-deception, and luck shape
the people we become, and wrestles with what it means to have felt
and caused pain, even and especially with those we love, and how
you keep living. It is both a masterclass on Milch's unique
creative process, and a distinctive, revelatory memoir from one of
the great American writers, in what may be his final dispatch to us
all.
