But the man behind the clever musings has mostly remained a \"walking, talking enigma\"—until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEmperor of Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e, Blake J. Harris attempts the impossible: to move past the mystique and paint an honest portrait of the one and only Larry David. From his childhood in Brooklyn and his early days as a temperamental stand-up comic whose peers routinely voted as “least likely to succeed,” to reinventing himself and forming a legendary partnership with fellow comedian Jerry Seinfeld and later becoming a star himself as well as the brutally honest voice of a generation (without ever trying to be), this book follows David’s reluctant rise to fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on five-plus years of full access to and exclusive interviews with Larry, as well as his family, friends, and colleagues, \u003ci\u003eEmperor of Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, thoughtful reflections, and more awkward hijinks than a Passover Seder gone terribly wrong. Capturing in equal parts the icon and irritant, \u003ci\u003eEmperor of Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive biography of the man who somehow made baldness and neurosis aspirational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a fan, a fellow overthinker, or just someone who’s proudly never, ever learned a lesson, this book is for you. Larry might not understand why anyone would want to read about him. But that probably means it’s prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ayyy good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dey Street Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48587996823781,"sku":"NP9780063066304","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/emperor-of-nothing-the-making-of-larry-david-isbn-9780063066304","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
