Life's Work

"If, like me, you’re a dedicated fan of David Milch’s transformative television – from Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue to Deadwood and John from Cincinnati – you’ll come to this memoir for its behind-the-scenes stories. But the real gifts of Life’s Work are Milch’s meditations on writing and how to live. Milch, who has Alzheimer’s disease, collaborated on this book with his wife and adult daughters, who helped him piece together his recollections. What results is an exigent reflection on a truly remarkable life, one that holds lessons about humanity and the power of art to make those lessons visible."
