Lucky Jim / by Hart, James(Executive),author.(CARDINAL)340207; Bernstein, Carl,1944-writer of foreward.(CARDINAL)167291; Cleis Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)340205;
Lucky Jim is a story about how a young man survived a violent childhood home, found his voice as an incredible writer, established a love that was both so right and so wrong, and ultimately found the strength to be his true self. Jim Hart is a master at building relationships, he is charming, funny, and a great listener with a guru's insight. His success in life and business was based on his ability to connect with others, from people recovering in 12-step programs in Upstate New York to those living in the rarified air of Martha's Vineyard. But after more than twenty years of sobriety, a single slip-up triggered an active addiction that threatened his relationships with his then-wife, singer-songwriter Carly Simon, his recovery friends, his son, and even with himself as he began to confront his sexuality.

Harriet Tubman: live in concert : a novel / by Bob,the Drag Queen,1986-author.;
In an age of miracles where our greatest heroes from history have magically, unexplainably returned to shake us out of our confusion and hate, Harriet Tubman is back, and she has a lot to say. Harriet Tubman and four of the enslaved persons she led to freedom want to tell their story in a unique way; by following in the footsteps of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. Harriet wants to put on a show about her life, and she needs a songwriter to help her. She calls upon Darnell Williams, a once successful hip-hop producer who was topping the charts before being outed by a rival at the BET Awards. Darnell has no idea what to expect when he steps into the studio with Harriet, only that they have one week to write a Broadway caliber musical she can take on the road. Over the course of their time together, they not only mount a show that will take the country by storm, but confront the horrors of both their pasts, and learn to find a way to a better future.

Who knew / by Diller, Barry,author.;
"Barry Diller, one of America's most successful businessmen, reveals himself here-his successes, failures, and struggles--with surprising candor and intimacy in a memoir rich in Hollywood lore and filled with business acumen. Writing in his singular voice, Barry Diller delivers an astute business memoir, an unvarnished look at Hollywood, a primer on media, and a surprisingly frank coming-of-age story. "I want to work in the mail room at William Morris." So begins Diller's show business life. Diller did not aspire to be an agent, nor was he a glove fit for William Morris, the legendary talent agency he describes as resembling a "Jewish Vatican." But he was a good assistant and student and took it all in. Before long, Diller was offered a job at ABC. His ascent was meteoric, launching ABC TV's Movie of the Week at age twenty-seven, becoming CEO of Paramount Pictures at age thirty-two, and launching the Fox TV network at age forty-four. Along the way, Diller oversaw the production of classic films such as Saturday Night Fever, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Home Alone (a film he credits with saving Rupert Murdoch's career) and hit TV shows such as The Simpsons, Married...with Children, and Cops. He programmed and developed by instinct--not by research or data. Diller's media savvy changed the course of American culture. His championing of Alex Haley's Roots put long-form miniseries on the map. He was never cowed by the talent--actors, directors, and producers--and worked with them all. Indeed, throughout his career, Diller championed "creative conflict," encouraging argument in every business he managed ("I've never thought decision-making should be peaceful," he writes). Diller also recognized our digital future, founding IAC and growing it into a billion-dollar constellation of brands, including Match, Tinder, and Expedia. Moving beyond business, Diller recounts his family life, personal struggles, and regrets, his joyful marriage to Diane von Furstenburg, and where he has found fulfillment. Intimate, candid, and moving, Who Knew is a different kind of business memoir, one that holds nothing back"--
