This biography chronicles the life of a remarkable figure in American entertainment, revealing both extraordinary successes and lesser-known struggles. The acclaimed author explores Mike Nichols' ascent as a prodigious talent, starting with his groundbreaking improv duo with Elaine May in his 20s. He quickly transitioned to directing, earning multiple Tony Awards for his Broadway productions. By his mid-30s, he directed two of the highest-grossing films of the 1960s, winning an Oscar for Best Director for The Graduate. Nichols enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, residing in a Central Park West penthouse and befriending notable figures like Jacqueline Kennedy and Stephen Sondheim. His journey is particularly striking considering his origins: born Igor Peschkowsky in Berlin in 1931, he and his brother fled to America in 1939, reuniting with their father while their mother arrived later. The family faced significant hardships, including the death of his father when Mike was just 11 and his mother's mental instability. Additionally, Nichols dealt with severe alopecia, which left him completely bald from a young age, and his parents struggled to afford a wig until he was nearly in high school. Mark Harris presents a nuanced portrayal of Nichols, balancing his achievements with the challenges he faced, ultimately crafting a compelling narrative of a complex and influential figure in theater and film.

In this magical realism tale, the author captivates with humor, irony, and wordplay, creating a fictitious yet oddly familiar world where societal norms are challenged. The narrative follows Michelangelo from a declining, underdeveloped United States into a vibrant, culturally rich California, now a separate entity. His quest is fraught with danger and confusion, as he faces numerous obstacles that threaten his life. A mysterious phantom compels him to become an actor, vying for the prestigious A-Star Award for Best Actor, with the ultimate role of portraying God. Will Michelangelo's determination lead to success, or will he be overpowered by forces intent on his destruction? The author crafts a compelling story where the protagonist grapples with his desires and emotions in a high-tech world beyond his comprehension. Ingenious cultural references, such as the design on the US dollar and Michelangelo’s iconic artwork, enhance the narrative. With a unique prose style, the author invites readers to escape realism and explore a reimagined reality, presenting the United States as backward, California as developing, and Mexico as developed. This novel promises an exhilarating reading experience, leaving readers with a fresh perspective on their own world.

Something about a Soldier is considered by some critics to be Mark Harris's finest novel. The wacky characters and situations are clothed in a trenchant language that says everything Harris wants to say while retaining the purity and simplicity of a fable. The hero is Private Jacob Epp (changed from Epstein), seventeen, from Perkinsville, New York. In 1944 he enters the army and arrives for basic training in Georgia with his Soldier's Handbook and a virginal social conscience. Exposed to racial discrimination and poverty, he becomes a social activist, even flirts briefly with communism. He meets Jolene, a countergirl in the PX, who urges him to embrace her, a warmer object for his love than any abstraction. How Private Epp is saved from death for love is a nutty, ingenious story that the reader won't be able to resist.

This biography explores the life of a remarkable figure in American entertainment, detailing his extraordinary highs and devastating lows, many of which remain largely unknown. Mike Nichols emerged as a prodigious talent in his 20s, forming a successful improv duo with Elaine May that captivated the nation. He directed four hit Broadway plays, winning three Tony Awards for Best Director.

His journey is particularly striking given his beginnings: born Igor Peschkowsky in Berlin in 1931, he and his brother were sent alone to America in 1939. Their father awaited them, while their mother followed shortly after. The family faced immense challenges, including poverty and the early death of his father when Nichols was just 11.

Mark Harris presents a nuanced account of Nichols's life, balancing his successes and failures, ultimately revealing the complexity of one of theater and film's most significant figures.

Unreasonable Records accesses the critical value of weird vinyl records, recognizing their nonconformist acoustics and lack of lyrical boundaries as subversive cracks in normative popular music. These unreasonable songs are resucitated to evaluate their mutinous sounds and alarming worldviews. Intractable compulsions being a magnet for this music, Unreasonable Records explores our psychic entanglements with plants and flowers, human-animal thresholds, and parks and gardens as sites of public order and personal collapse. As a lyrical unconscious revealing impulses and desires buried by commercial music, the warped preoccupations of these records are taken as symptomatic of enduring social, psychological and political disorders
