Seinfeld: The Making of an American Icon
March 13,
Jerry Oppenheimer did a nice job in straying from a book of glorification. Going in, I believed this text would chronicle all of Jerry's successes and accomplishments in a way that made him look like a perfect specimen. However, each chapter seemed to end by pointing out his flaws, his downfalls: he abandoned not only his hometown but the Jewish community there, he's commitment-phobic, he devastated his college sweetheart EIGHT times with breakups, he stole away a married woman and then a newlywed in the span of a few months. The list goes on and on.
I will say, though, that this book was motivating for someone who would love to climb the ranks in the entertainment industry. Jerry worked diligently, had focus (albeit sometimes through the likes of Scientology), and even though he was once nerdy came out on top with women - always maintained respect for them, never womanized. Overall, I learned a good deal about the business, and am more terrified and excited than ever to continue down this path of acting/comedy/entertainment, shrouded in mystery and incredible opportunities.
Time to get my shit together. That's all for my blog-like literary review.
