Overview
- Knopf announced the memoir on Jan. 29 as a lead fall title with a first printing of 250,000 copies.
- Hardcover and ebook editions will be published by Knopf, with an audio edition from Penguin Random House.
- Publisher materials describe the book as a “fiery, furious” insider account that it says is wilder than Entourage because it is real.
- The narrative spans Emanuel’s dyslexia-challenged upbringing in Chicago, early CAA mailroom years, the founding of Endeavor, the William Morris takeover, and acquisitions including IMG, UFC and WWE.
- Emanuel’s statement emphasizes persistence in the face of doubt, and the release cites clients such as Martin Scorsese, Oprah Winfrey and a pre-presidential Donald Trump.
