"Elegantly written, filled with remarkable detail and incisive commentary, Isaac Butler's sweeping historical epic is the literary equivalent of an irresistible binge-watch, propelled by emotional twists and turns, surprising cliffhangers, and a cast of the greatest actors, directors, writers, and teachers of the last two centuries. The fact that he has done all that while also writing what I think is the best and most important book about acting I've ever read is a major achievement. This is an essential book for anyone in the acting profession as well as for anyone who's ever wondered 'How did they learn all those lines?'" -- Nathan Lane "An intoxicating mix of history, illuminating character studies, delicious gossip, and a persuasive and revelatory argument about how the Method has been used, abused, and misunderstood. Essential reading, glorious reading." -- Megan Abbott, screenwriter and bestselling author of THE TURNOUT "Isaac Butler tells the epic story of how a Russian-born system of modern acting transformed American theater and cinema in a brilliant book that brims with exuberance, compassion and-of course-a keen eye for the dramatic." -- Glenn Frankel, author of SHOOTING MIDNIGHT COWBOY " The Method vividly recreates a fascinating moment of time, filled with creativity, rivalry, artistry, and absurdity, that profoundly transformed American film and theater, with reverberations still being felt today." -- William J. Mann, author of THE CONTENDER: THE STORY OF MARLON BRANDO "Isaac Butler has turned a brilliant concept into a compulsively readable cultural history that's truly unique. I was entertained and enlightened!" -- Julie Salamon, author of THE DEVIL'S CANDY and WENDY AND THE LOST BOYS "Marvelous ... A vital book." -- Washington Post, on THE WORLD ONLY SPINS FORWARD "[ The World Only Spins Forward ] conveys, on a granular level, the determination, heartbreak and competitive fire that go into making great theater." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A fascinating, backstage tour." -- NPR, on THE WORLD ONLY SPINS FORWARD, "Elegantly written, filled with remarkable detail and incisive commentary, Isaac Butler's sweeping historical epic is the literary equivalent of an irresistible binge-watch, propelled by emotional twists and turns, surprising cliffhangers, and a cast of the greatest actors, directors, writers, and teachers of the last two centuries.

Synopsis
National Book Critics Circle Award Winner, Nonfiction NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2022 BY THE NEW YORKER , TIME MAGAZINE , SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE , VOX, SALON, LIT HUB, AND VANITY FAIR "Entertaining and illuminating."-- The New Yorker * "Compulsively readable."-- New York Times * "Delicious, humane, probing."-- Vulture * "The best and most important book about acting I've ever read."--Nathan Lane The critically acclaimed cultural history of Method acting-an ebullient account of creative discovery and the birth of classic Hollywood. On stage and screen, we know a great performance when we see it. But how do actors draw from their bodies and minds to turn their selves into art? What is the craft of being an authentic fake? More than a century ago, amid tsarist Russia's crushing repression, one of the most talented actors ever, Konstantin Stanislavski, asked these very questions, reached deep into himself, and emerged with an answer. How his "system" remade itself into the Method and forever transformed American theater and film is an unlikely saga that has never before been fully told. Now, critic and theater director Isaac Butler chronicles the history of the Method in a narrative that transports readers from Moscow to New York to Los Angeles, from The Seagull to A Streetcar Named Desire to Raging Bull . He traces how a cohort of American mavericks--including Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg, and the storied Group Theatre--refashioned Stanislavski's ideas for a Depression-plagued nation that had yet to find its place as an artistic powerhouse. The Group's feuds and rivalries would, in turn, shape generations of actors who enabled Hollywood to become the global dream-factory it is today. Some of these performers the Method would uplift; others, it would destroy. Long after its midcentury heyday, the Method lives on as one of the most influential--and misunderstood--ideas in American culture. Studded with marquee names--from Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, and Elia Kazan, to James Baldwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Dustin Hoffman-- The Method is a spirited history of ideas and a must-read for any fan of Broadway or American film., From the coauthor of The World Only Spins Forward comes the first cultural history of Method acting--an ebullient account of creative discovery and the birth of classic Hollywood.

    The disc is in excellent shape but it would have been nice to know it came from a library.

    Thank you for your order and for taking the time to leave feedback. I did note in two places in the listing—including the description and photos—that the DVD was ex-library. I try to be as upfront and detailed as possible, though I understand how things can be missed, especially on mobile devices. I appreciate your business and hope you'll consider shopping with me again in the future!
