Join us for this Writers Series Event with Ed Zwick in conversation with Dave Karger to discuss his book, Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood.
"I'll be dropping a few names," Ed Zwick confesses in the introduction to his book. "Over the years I have worked with self-proclaimed masters-of-the-universe, unheralded geniuses, hacks, sociopaths, savants, and saints." He has encountered these Holywood types during four decades of directing, producing, and writing projects that have collectively received eighteen Academy Award nominations (seven wins) and sixty-seven Emmy nominations (twenty-two wins). Written mostly with love, sometimes with rue, this memoir "is not just a wonderfully intimate memoir. It's also an indispensable guide to the shark-infested waters of artistic integrity" (Cameron Crowe).
Dave Karger is a host on Turner Classic Movies. He has also made over 200 live apperances on NBC's TODAY as an entertainment commentator.
