-Fabricante :
Penguin Books
-Descripcion Original:
A revealing look at the shows that helped TV emerge as the signature art form of the twenty-first century In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the landscape of television began an unprecedented transformation. While the networks continued to chase the lowest common denominator, a wave of new shows on cable channels dramatically stretched television’s narrative inventiveness, emotional resonance, and artistic ambition. Combining deep reportage with cultural analysis and historical context, Brett Martin recounts the rise and inner workings of a genre that represents not only a new golden age for TV, but also a cultural watershed. Difficult Men features extensive interviews with all the major players, including David Chase, David Simon, David Milch, and Alan Ball; in addition to other writers, executives, directors and actors. Martin delivers never-before-heard story after story, revealing how cable television became a truly significant and influential part of our culture. Review [A] wonderfully reported and thoughtful exploration… Difficult Men is grand entertainment, and will be fascinating for anyone curious about the perplexing miracles of how great television comes to be. -Wall Street Journal Martin is a thorough reporter and artful storyteller, clearly entranced with, though not deluded by, his subjects… In between the delicious bits of insider trading, the book makes a strong if not terribly revelatory argument for the creative process. -Los Angeles Times Martin offers sharp analysis of the advances in technology and storytelling that helped TV become the 21st centurys predominant art form. But his best material comes from interviews with writers, directors, and others who dish about Weiners egomania, Milchs battles with substance abuse, and Chases weirdest acid trip ever. -Entertainment Weekly Enjoyable, wildly readable. -Boston Globe An engaging, entertaining, and utterly convincing chronicle of televisions transformation… Martin operates with an enviable fearlessness, painting warts-and-all portraits of autocratic showrunners such as David Milch ( Deadwood), David Simon ( The Wire) and Matthew Weiner ( Mad Men)… Anyone interested in television should read this book, no matter how much or how little they know about the shows it chronicles. -Newsday Difficult Men, with its vigorous reporting and keen analysis, is one of those books that crystallizes a cultural moment and lets you savor it all the more. -Dallas Morning News Martins analysis is intelligent and his culture commentary will be of interest to fans of many of todays better-written shows. -Christian Science Monitor Masterful… unveils the mysterious-to-all-but-insiders process that takes place in the rooms where TV shows are written. -New Orleans Times-Picayune Difficult Men delivers what it promises. Martin had good access to actors, writers and producers . . . Difficult Men is an entertaining, well-written peek at the creative process. -Fort Worth Star Telegram A vastly entertaining and insightful look at the creators of some of the most highly esteemed recent television series… Martin’s stated goal is to recount the culmination of what he calls the Third Golden Age of Television. And he does so with his own sophisticated synthesis or reporting, on-set observations, and critical thinking, proving himself as capable of passing judgment, of parsing strengths and weaknesses of any given TV show, as any reviewer who covers the beat… in short, the sort of criticism that must now extend to television as much as it does to any other first-rate art. - Bookforum [Showrunners are] as complex and fascinating in Martin’s account as their anti-hero protagonists are on the screen… Breaking Bad, The Shield, and Six Feet Under have dominated the recent cultural conversation in the way that movies did in the 1970s…. Martin thrillingly explains how and why that conversation migr
