Product Information
From his earliest days as a culture-beat reporter, through a wildly successful four decades in the book business, to his latest philanthropic ventures, Stephen Rubin has witnessed up close the highs and lows of publishing, music, and entertainment over the last half-century. Now, in this refreshingly forthright and uninhibited memoir, he shares the stories and secrets of a legendary career. Freshly graduated from New York University, Rubin parlayed what had been a music column in his college paper into a freelance writing gig, covering culture, pop and classical music, and Hollywood. This landed him spots in major newspapers and put him in the company of fabulous opera divas, pop singers, and other unforgettable personalities (including his future wife Cynthia, a talent manager). Here, he shares his adventures with such varied and iconic figures as Luciano Pavarotti, Judy Garland, Pierre Boulez, Burt Lancaster, Dimitri Shostakovich, and Gregory Peck. Rubin recounts how, after joining Bantam Books in 1984, he rose steadily through the ranks of the publishing business, taking readers behind the scenes of the publication of record-breaking bestsellers such as John Grisham's The Firm and Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. With an uncanny ability to right the ship of floundering houses and imprints, he stepped into roles (and on some toes) at Bantam, Doubleday, Transworld, Henry Holt, and Simon & Schuster. He spares no details or feelings as he recounts corporate missteps and personal feuds at the highest levels of the literary world. Full of riveting detail, engagingly told, and generously leavened with insider dish, this is an unparalleled look at the culture industry from the man who's seen it all first-hand.

Reviews
"He is to the book business what Clive Davis is to the music industry. He is the quintessential hitmaker. If you look at his track record: John Grisham in the 1990s. Dan Brown in the 2000s. Bill O'Reilly in this decade. And then Michael Wolff."--Jonathan Karp, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster, as quoted in the New York Times, "Stephen Rubin got his start as a music writer, but truly made his mark running some of the world's most storied publishing houses. In this smart, dishy memoir, Rubin details life at the top of the pile of American letters--the victories, the losses, the skirmishes, the gossip--and shares an unforgettable inside look at the world of books, celebrity, and the literary industrial complex." --Town and Country "He is to the book business what Clive Davis is to the music industry. He is the quintessential hitmaker. If you look at his track record: John Grisham in the 1990s. Dan Brown in the 2000s. Bill O'Reilly in this decade. And then Michael Wolff."--Jonathan Karp, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster, as quoted in the New York Times "Words and Music is a tour-de-force, brilliant, entertaining, insightful, and fearless. The prose is so visual, so elegant, so evocative. No pretensions, no 'showing off, ' just describing life backstage and in drawing rooms and dining rooms. Steve brings us along and shares with us his extraordinary access. And perceptions. Between his passion for opera and publishing, Steve has met many of the luminaries in both fields, and quite a few reprobates as well. He brings all to life in this lively, hilarious, thoughtful, and often touching memoir. At times gushing, at times snarky, often gossipy, always warm and self-effacing, Words and Music guides us through a life fully lived, with great good humor, exceptional insight, and sparkling prose. He is wonderful company, as you will soon discover."--Louise Penny, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of nineteen novels, and co-author of State of Terror with Hillary Clinton, "Words and Music is a tour-de-force, brilliant, entertaining, insightful, and fearless.
