I was filled with excitement, envy and reverence for the New York City that embraced the young Shepard in the 1960s and early 70s.Ethan Hawke, The Washington PostTrue West: Sam Shepards Life, Work, and Times is the story of an American icon, a lasting portrait of Sam Shepard as he really was, revealed by those who knew him best. This sweeping biography charts Shepards long and complicated journey from a small town in Southern California to become an internationally known playwright and movie star. The only son of an alcoholic father, Shepard crafted a public persona as an authentic American archetype: the loner, the cowboy, the drifter, the stranger in a strange land. Despite his great critical and financial success, he seemed, like so many of his characters, to remain perpetually dispossessed.Much like Robert Greenfields biographies of Jerry Garcia and Timothy Leary, this book delves deeply into Shepards life as well as the ways in which his work illuminates it. True West takes readers through the world of downtown theater in Lower Manhattan in the early sixties; the jazz scene at New Yorks Village Gate; fringe theater in London in the seventies; Bob Dylans legendary Rolling Thunder tour; the making of classic films like Zabriskie Point, Days of Heaven, and The Right Stuff; and Broadway productions of Buried Child, True West, and Fool for Love.For this definitive biography, Greenfield interviewed dozens of people who knew Shepard well, many of whom had never before spoken on the record about him. While exploring his relationships with Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Jessica Lange across the long arc of his brilliant career, Greenfield makes the case for Shepard as not just a great American writer but a unique figure who first brought the sensibility of rock n roll to theater....643279True West217282https://www.gandhi.com.mx/true-west-3/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1391047/eec4eb82-7cde-475d-80f9-b427680fe4a0.jpg?v=638338030999170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239780525575979_W3siaWQiOiJjOGVhN2EyZS1iNTA2LTQ3NzktOWE0MS02MTg1OTg4NDg3NGQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI4MiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxNywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMTNUMTI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780525575979_An intimate portrait of the iconic playwright, actor, and director Sam Shepard, whose wide-ranging and enduring body of work places him at the center of the American canon, from an award-winning biographerTrue West: Sam Shepards Life, Work, and Times is the story of an American icon, a lasting portrait of Sam Shepard as he really was, revealed by those who knew him best.
