This book is ideal for readers interested in arts, culture, and political commentary delivered with wit and candour.
Probing essays and observations by acclaimed actor and playwright Wallace Shawn, in his first nonfiction collection.
We will hire a professional publicist to solicit early reviews in prominent media outlets, and promote this title for television and radio programs, including those with national reach, such as New York magazine, The Charlie Rose show, Late Night with David Letterman, national NPR, Oprah, and others. We will solicit blurbs from some of Shawn's many renowned admirers. We plant to hold large book events in Los Angeles, New York City, and potentially other large cities. Shawn's work from Hollywood to Broadway has gained a committed and diverse range of audiences; our marketing strategy will reflect this fact.
