A lifetime worth of stuff. And secrets. And stories. And it all makes for one hell of a ride, and one of the must-read books of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAri Emanuel has long been one of the most influential people in the world, but he’s also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel’s job description. As Hollywood’s best-known super-agent – the inspiration for Ari Gold in the classic TV drama Entourage – he’s paid to speak for his A-list clients, not himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the fero­cious power broker, speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life – often at the top of his lungs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Roll the Calls, his take-no-prisoners memoir, Eman­uel tells the incredible stories behind the signings and fir­ings, the triumphant mergers and nasty breakups, the hard-won victories and crushing mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith great comic zest, and in precise cinematic detail, he traces the arc of a classic rags-to-riches career, from suffering through severe dyslexia, to clerking in the mail­room of CAA, to striking out on his own with three fellow agents, launching a new talent agency that would go on to represent some of the most glittering names in show busi­ness, including Larry David, Quentin Tarantino, Denzel Washington, Billie Eilish, Martin Scorsese and Oprah Win­frey. Along the way Emanuel was also raising four kids, fighting and reconciling with friends and colleagues, coping with a failing marriage and struggling to find love again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShattering the mould of stodgy CEO memoirs, Roll the Calls is told in a punchy, telegraphic style, with disarming humility and ribald candour. It’s a fable about success and failure, about creativity and persistence, and a masterclass in how to ignore the haters, how to overcome withering self-doubt, and, at moments of profound crisis and despair, how to be a fearless advocate for your most vulnerable client: yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HEDS Harper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51444369359071,"sku":"9780008849108","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/9780008849108.jpg?v=1790203620","url":"https:\/\/blackbirdfloral.info\/products\/roll-the-calls-a-memoir","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
