À propos de cet audio

“Josh Brolin’s out to catch his breath between the slant-eyed suggestions and irrefutable evidence of his past. He hears voices, and he listens, reminding us with brutal honesty that our surroundings were never there to be carried, rather woven into the fabric of the freedom to be who we are.”—Matthew McConaughey

From Josh Brolin, a unique and decidedly un-celebrity memoir, by turns affecting, funny, uncanny, and unforgettable—read by the author, this edition features exclusive intro and outro music by Chris Stapleton.

Weaving a latticework of different strands, moving back and forth through time, Josh Brolin captures a life marked by curiosity, pain, devotion, kindness, humor. He recounts an unconventional childhood far from Hollywood. Raised on a ranch in Paso Robles, California, he was surrounded as a child by the wolves, cougars, and other wild animals gathered by his fearless and explosive mother, Jane Agee Brolin. Her tragic, early death haunts this book, and the force of her unforgettable personality is felt throughout. Brolin also brings to life his career in the film industry—from his breakout role in The Goonies to the set of No Country for Old Men—and the professional and personal ups and downs in between and since. With unflinching honesty but also great humor, he shares insights into relationships, addiction, love, and fatherhood, while letting the white space in between words speak for itself. Grappling with the mysteries of life and death in a way that will catch listeners by surprise, From Under the Truck is an audacious and riveting memoir from a born writer.

Had higher expectations

Josh is a brilliant writer which was why this feels like an unfair review… but, this feels less like a memoir and more like a string of movie captions with short, intermittent scenes. It’s chaotic and difficult to follow. I wanted to love it but even the poetic prose couldn’t win me over. It lacked fluidity, vulnerability and connectivity. Still, the dude can write and he’s a lovely narrator.

Comes off pretentious

This is full of great stories but it’s almost like the intended audience is fellow actors. It’s like a series of monologues strung together and many times I wondered if I was in the middle of a soliloquy or a story.

Great writing, if it wasn’t a memoir

I love Josh and his interesting and incredible tales but it was written in a way that it seemed like a good fiction story rather than a memoir. I feel it was over-written, if that’s a thing. I like to listen to biographies because I can hear them tell their stories in their own words and it feels more personal and I like that connection. I didn’t come away with any connection here and was disappointed to be honest. Regardless, he has had some really unique experiences so far!
