{"product_id":"roll-the-calls-a-memoir-isbn-9798217209347","title":"Roll the Calls: A Memoir","description":"\u003cb\u003eOne of Hollywood’s most accomplished, feared—and funny—dealmakers has some stuff he wants to get off his chest. A lifetime worth of stuff. And secrets. And stories. And it all makes for one hell of a ride, and one of the must-read books of the year.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAri Emanuel has long been one of the most influential people in the world, but he’s also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel’s job description. As Hollywood’s best-known super-agent—the inspiration for Ari Gold in the classic TV drama \u003ci\u003eEntourage\u003c\/i\u003e—he’s paid to speak for his A-list clients, not himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the fero­cious power broker, speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life—often at the top of his lungs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRoll the Calls, \u003c\/i\u003ehis take-no-prisoners memoir, Eman­uel tells the incredible stories behind the signings and fir­ings, the triumphant mergers and nasty breakups, the hard-won victories and crushing mistakes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith great comic zest, and in precise cinematic detail, he traces the arc of a classic rags-to-riches career, from suffering through severe dyslexia, to clerking in the mail­room of CAA, to striking out on his own with three fellow agents, launching a new talent agency that would go on to represent some of the most glittering names in show busi­ness, including Larry David, Quentin Tarantino, Denzel Washington, Billie Eilish, Martin Scorsese, and Oprah Win­frey. Along the way Emanuel was also raising four kids, fighting and reconciling with friends and colleagues, coping with a failing marriage, and struggling to find love again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShattering the mold of stodgy CEO memoirs, \u003ci\u003eRoll the Calls \u003c\/i\u003eis told in a punchy, telegraphic style, with disarming humility and ribald candor. It’s a fable about success and failure, about creativity and persistence, and a master class in how to ignore the haters, how to overcome withering self-doubt, and, at moments of profound crisis and despair, how to be a fearless advocate for your most vulnerable client: yourself.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48532184498405,"sku":"NP9798217209347","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9798217209347.jpg?v=1787607856","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/roll-the-calls-a-memoir-isbn-9798217209347","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
