A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME and Vanity Fair

"Newman at his best…with his self-aware persona, storied marriage and generous charitable activities…this rich book somehow imbues his characters’ pain and joy with fresh technicolor." —The Wall Street Journal


In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years.
 
The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling.
 
Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually.
 
The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.

GOOD BUY
Color: Grey, Number of Items: 1
This is a good sturdy table. It is the perfect size for an end table or nightstand. The USB ports and Outlets really come in handy. It is made out of real wood which is rare, it is definitely worth money.

Very Nice End Table! Sturdy!
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2, Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2
These are great tables, especially to use along side a recliner and couch. They're easy to put together. Follow the directions! Everything you need is in there including the screwdriver!! Lay it on its side on the floor when your building it, tighten all the tabs a half turn and did I mention?... never use power tools when building small furniture like this. once they're done, you'll love them... there's a nice drawer to keep things in -- remotes, etc It's pretty, sturdy, I bet will last a long time. ♡
