Paul Newman

    Tento autor skúma ľudskú povahu a zložitosť vzťahov prostredníctvom silných, často náročných postáv. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú hlbokým psychologickým vhľadom a prenikavým pozorovaním spoločenských dynamík. S citom pre detail a atmosféru vtiahne čitateľov do svetov, ktoré sú zároveň povedomé aj znepokojivo cudzie. Jeho písanie je poznačené zmyslom pre morálnu ambivalenciu a hľadaním zmyslu v existenciálnej neistote.

      Paul Newman vo svojich memoároch úprimne opisuje celý svoj život: traumatické detstvo, kariéru, pitie, spomienky na Marlona Brandona, Jamesa Deana, Elizabeth Taylorovú, Johna Hustona, ale aj svoje najväčšie herecké roly, intímny život s Joanne Woodwardovou či svoje najvnútornejšie obavy, vášne a radosti. V roku 1986 sa Paul Newman a jeho najbližší priateľ, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do výnimočného projektu. Stewart mal zostaviť jeho pamäti. Predstava bola taká, že Newmanova rodina, priatelia a tí, ktorí s ním úzko spolupracovali, podajú svoju výpoveď o hercovom živote. A následne bude Paul Newman spolupracovať so Stewartom a podá svoju verziu príbehu. Jedinou podmienkou bolo, že každý, kto sa zúčastní na nahrávaní, musí byť maximálne úprimný. Rovnaká podmienka platila aj pre samotného Newmana. Projekt trval päť rokov a výsledkom sú neobyčajné memoáre, zostavené z tisícov strán prepisov. Newmanovo rozprávanie je silné, niekedy vtipné, inokedy bolestné, vždy však hlboko úprimné. Rozprávania priateľov z detstva a kamarátov z námorníctva, rodinných príslušníkov a filmových a divadelných spolupracovníkov, ako sú Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston, ktoré sa objavujú v celom texte, dodávajú Newmanovmu príbehu bohatosť, farebnosť a zaujímavú rôznorodosť.

In this extraordinary memoir, Newman details his fascinating story: from troubled beginnings, marked by fraught relationships with both his mother and father, to the iconic film roles (both good and bad) that cemented his status as a Hollywood icon and heartthrob, and the complicated relationships that were formed along the way.
