Notorious

From one of Canada’s most original musical artists comes a bestselling new memoir about life, love, loss and triumphBif Naked was born in secret to a teenager living in India, the product of the relationship between a Canadian girl and a British boy. She was rejected by both families and hidden away in a mental hospital until being adopted by missionaries and moved to North America. She then began what she recalls with ironic humour as a “charmed life.” Targeted by girl gangs and facing other abusive situations, she escaped this early life by joining a punk rock band and leaving on tour, where she married the drummer and hit a downward spiral that found her on the floor of a Vancouver drug den.Through it all, her creative personality and unstoppable humour were her weapons of self-defence. Bif showcased her life’s journey in tattoo ink across her body, and with her unique ability to transform her personal stories into song lyrics. She found her voice as a solo artist, started her own record company and at twenty-three years of age became an international recording artist. Throughout her remarkable career, armed with her singular talent and instantly identifiable look, Bif would captivate the imagination of audiences and media alike, releasing nine albums and twenty-one videos. She embarked on seemingly endless international tours, several feature films and multiple television roles, only to be struck with breast cancer at age thirty-seven. In facing that challenge, Bif would discover her passion for advocacy, as a triumphant survivor and someone who helps others first. This is Bif Naked’s story so far…

From the acclaimed film critic and&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling biographer of Paul Newman, the definitive biography of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, the most prolific and versatile actor-director in the history of the medium and an imposing icon of American culture.C-L-I-N-T. In one short, sharp syllable, an emblem of American manhood and morality and sheer bloody-minded will, on screen and off, for more than sixty years. Whether he's facing down bad guys on a western street (Old West or new, no matter); staring through the lens of a camera; or accepting one of his thirteen Oscars (including two for Best Picture); he is as blunt, curt, and solid as his name, a star of the old school stripe&nbsp;and&nbsp;one of the most accomplished directors of his time, a man of rock and iron and brute force:&nbsp;Clint.&nbsp;To tell the story of Clint Eastwood is to tell the story of nearly a century of American culture. No Hollywood figure has so completely and complexly stood inside the changing climates of post-World War II America.&nbsp;At age ninety-five, he has lived a tumultuous century and embodied much of his time and many of its contradictions.&nbsp;We picture him most immediately as he has appeared to us on screen:&nbsp;squinting through cigarillo smoke in&nbsp;A Fistful of Dollars&nbsp;or&nbsp;The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; imposing rough justice at the point of a .44 Magnum in&nbsp;Dirty Harry; sowing vengeance in&nbsp;The Outlaw Josey Wales&nbsp;or&nbsp;Pale Rider or&nbsp;Unforgiven; grudgingly training a woman boxer in&nbsp;Million Dollar Baby; standing up for his neighbors despite his racism in&nbsp;Gran Torino. Or we feel him present, powerfully, behind the camera, creating complex tales of violence, morality, and humanity such as Mystic River, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, and American Sniper. But his roles, however well-cast and convincing, are two-dimensional in comparison to the whole life.&nbsp;And the films he makes as an artist are, too, mere pieces of the man. As New York Times bestselling author Shawn Levy reveals in this masterful biography--the most complete portrait yet of Eastwood--the reality is richer, knottier, and more absorbing. Clint: The Man and the Movies is a saga of cunning, determination, and conquest, a story about a man ascending to the Hollywood pantheon while keeping a gimlet eye on its ways and habits and one foot firmly planted outside its door.&nbsp;

A cultural biography, both sweeping and intimate, of the legend Bruce Lee, set against the extraordinary, untold story of the rise of Asian America?from the author of the award-winning classic&nbsp;Can't Stop Won't Stop&nbsp;and one of the finest culture observers of our era.

"Water Mirror Echo is a remarkable story of a man, the traditions and communities that created him, and the new worlds he made possible. Like Bruce Lee himself, Jeff Chang is blessed with the vision to see things we do not yet see, thinking and writing with a restless, chasm-crossing, almost prophetic ambition."&nbsp;—&nbsp;Hua Hsu, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of&nbsp;Stay True: A Memoir"This book is as celebratory as it is incisive, as it is, at times, heartbreaking. A massive achievement." —&nbsp;Hanif Abdurraqib, National Book Award-winning author of There’s Always This Year and A Little Devil in AmericaA cultural biography, both sweeping and intimate, of the legend Bruce Lee, set against the extraordinary, untold story of the rise of Asian America—from the author of the award-winning classic&nbsp;Can’t Stop Won’t Stop&nbsp;and one of the finest culture observers of our era.More than a half-century after his passing, Bruce Lee is as towering a figure to people around the world as ever. On his path to becoming a global icon, he popularized martial arts in the West, became a bridge to people and cultures from the East, and just as he was set to conquer Hollywood once and for all, he died of cerebral edema at age thirty-two. It’s no wonder that Bruce Lee’s legend has only bloomed in the decades since. Yet, in so many ways, the legend has eclipsed the man.Forgotten is the stark reality of the baby boy born in segregated San Francisco, who spent his youth in war-ravaged, fight-crazy Hong Kong. Forgotten is the curious teenager who found his way back to America, where he embraced West Coast counterculture and meshed it with the Asian worldviews and philosophies that reared him. Forgotten is the man whose very presence broke barriers and helped shape the idea of what being an Asian in America is, at the very dawn of Asian America.Water Mirror Echo—a title inspired by Bruce Lee’s own way of moving, being and responding to the world—is a page-turning and powerful reminder. At the helm is Jeff Chang, the award-winning author of&nbsp;Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, whose writing on culture, politics, the arts and music have made him one of the most acclaimed and distinctive voices of our time. In his hands, Bruce Lee’s story brims with authenticity.Now, based on in-depth interviews with Lee’s closest intimates, thousands of newly available personal documents, and featuring dozens of gorgeous photographs from the family’s archive, Chang achieves the nearly impossible. He reveals the man behind the enduring iconography and stirringly shows Lee’s growing fame ushering in something that’s turned out to be even more enduring: the creation of Asian America.

"Woody Allen was once made a knight commander by France, but he didn't know because the paperwork got lost in the mail. A decade later, he found out about the award by reading about it in the New York Times. Across nearly nine eventful decades, Allen's life has been full of surprises. Writing jokes got him a gig as the youngest writer of Sid Caesar's television dream team. As a rising comic, he boxed a kangaroo on TV. He made a blank-check deal with a major studio for terms unmatched in Hollywood apart from early titans like Chaplin and Welles. All before Annie Hall. Yet despite once being one of the most consequential American cultural figures, Allen is now persona non grata. In this judicious biography, acclaimed biographer Patrick McGilligan charts the meteoric rise and fall of the comedian whose nonconformity proved both his secret genius and Achilles' heel. Drawing on meticulous research, McGilligan reconstructs Allen's Brooklyn boyhood, his salad days as a television comedy writer, his rise to stand-up, and the thoughtful, award-winning film-making of his golden years in the 1970s and '80s. His messy relationships with wives and girlfriends, including Annie Hall costar Diane Keaton, were essential to his artistic development and undo-ing. Yet no one could have predicted his tumultuous personal and professional relationship with actress Mia Farrow, his alleged abuse of their adopted daughter Dylan, and his subsequent marriage to Mia's daughter Soon-Yi Previn ... [In this] rigor-ous account of Allen's life and career, McGilligan astutely reveals the writer's writer beyond the smoke and controversy, and paints a compelling portrait of the most creative, productive, and influential film-maker of his time." --book jacket.

A Memoir

Life's Too Short

"A life with the music of Joni Mitchell."

From the celebrated novelist and memoirist, a gorgeous account of how Joni Mitchell’s work has shaped his writing throughout his life.From the moment Paul Lisicky heard Joni Mitchell while growing up in New Jersey, he recognized she was that rarity among musicians—a talent whose combination of introspection, liberation, and deep musicality set her apart from any other artist of the time. As a young man, Paul was a budding songwriter who took his cues from Mitchell’s mysteries and idiosyncrasies. But as he matured, he set his guitar aside and turned to prose, a practice that would eventually take him to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and into the professional world of letters.As the decades passed, Paul’s connection to Mitchell’s artistry only deepened. Joni’s music was a constant, a guide to life and an artist’s manual in one. As Paul navigated love and heartbreak and imaginative struggles and the vicissitudes of a creative career, he would return again and again to the lessons found in Joni’s songs, to the solace and challenges that only her musicianship could give.Song So Wild and Blue is a gorgeously written, beautifully intimate, and unique tribute to the woman who shaped generations of creators and thinkers. Lisicky offers his own coming-of-adulthood as testimony to the power of songwriting and staying true to your creative vision. A guide to life that is part memoir, part biography, and part homage, Song So Wild and Blue is a joy for devoted Joni enthusiasts, budding writers, and artists of all stripes.

A Life with the Music of Joni Mitchell

Song So Wild and Blue

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER****Updated and expanded with new material from the author and new foreword from Rachel Kushner***?For many, Kim Gordon is the epitome of cool: vocalist, bassist/guitarist and founding member of Sonic Youth—one of the most successful bands to emerge from the post-punk New York scene—despite being famously reserved.Ten years ago, Gordon distilled that coolness into her groundbreaking memoir, Girl in a Band, speaking openly about her life. From her childhood in the sunbaked suburbs of Southern California, growing up with a schizophrenic sibling, to New York’s downtown art and music scene in the halcyon days of the 80s and 90s and creating Sonic Youth—a band that would go on to pave the way for acts like Nirvana and inspire the Riot Grrrl generation. Girl in a Band is an edgy and evocative portrait of a life in art.A decade on, Gordon’s exploration of the artists, musicians, and writers who influenced her, and of the relationship that defined her life for so long, remains a deeply intimate self-portrait of a woman who became an icon, and whose stature continues to evolve in and grow. With a new foreword by Rachel Kushner and new chapter from Kim herself ruminating on her career as a solo artist and her two 2025 Grammy nominations, her connection to touring after nearly forty years, and the death of her brother Keller.
