With unfettered access to Larry himself, and exclusive interviews with his\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003efamily, friends and colleagues, author Blake J. Harris chronicles the unlikely journey of a generation-defining icon.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eLarry David has built a comedy empire on candid observations, social faux pas and unapologetically selfish behaviour. But the man behind the clever musings has mostly remained a ‘walking, talking enigma’ – until now. In \u003cem\u003eEmperor of Nothing\u003c\/em\u003e, Harris moves beyond the mystique to paint an honest portrait of Larry David, tracing his journey from a Brooklyn childhood and early days as a temperamental stand-up comic – voted by peers as ‘least likely to succeed’ – to reinventing himself through his legendary partnership with Jerry Seinfeld and ultimately becoming a star and brutally honest voice of a generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on more than five years of access to and interviews with Larry and those closest to him, \u003cem\u003eEmperor of Nothing\u003c\/em\u003e is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, reflections and more awkward hijinks than a Passover Seder gone terribly wrong. Capturing both the icon and irritant, \u003cem\u003eEmperor of Nothing\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive biography of the man who made baldness and neurosis aspirational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a fan, a fellow overthinker, or 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":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47974269124844,"sku":"9780008445461","price":31.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780008445461-emperor-of-nothing.jpg?v=1784599342"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/blake-j-harris.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
