Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist

"This authorized biography of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the composer, lyricist, director and actor best known for Hamilton, delves into the fascinating nitty-gritty of the collaborations that help his productions come together. People call Miranda a genius because he seamlessly mashes seemingly disparate ideas together (the American Revolution and hip-hop!) to make work that is sparkling with joy, emotionally resonant and blazingly new. And writer Daniel Pollack-Pelzner brings us so deeply into this work – tracing the birth of individual songs line by line – that we feel the zing of creation."
