Table of ContentsReviewsMarvellous . . . a book full of riches. * Erica Wagner, The New Statesman * 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… You finish feeling you’ve really met someone. Milch was his own best creation. * New York Times * A searing, brutally honest memoir. * The Independent * A brilliant, emotional memoir . . . Takes the darkness of his own life and of those around him and turns it into something else, something that is threaded with hope. * Mail on Sunday * A wise, sly, hilarious, and poignant account of a life's work in hard drugs and hard television. * Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Netanyahus * The most gorgeously humane voice I've encountered in a work of nonfiction in a long while. I can think of few recent books that have pulsed with life this transparently, this powerfully. * Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm * Like the best memoirs, Life's Work is intimate, exquisitely observed, and intense. But unlike most - and what sets it apart - is the heartbreak it embodies, the finality it signals. This is David Milch's farewell, and it will rock you. * Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief * Author InformationDavid Milch graduated summa cum laude from Yale University, where he won the Tinker Prize.
