Marvellous . . . a book full of riches. -- Erica Wagner * The New Statesman * Lifes Work is one of the best books about television Ive read. Its funny, discursive, literate, druggy, self-absorbed, fidgety, replete with intense perceptions . . . You finish feeling youve really met someone. Milch was his own best creation. * The New York Times * A searing, brutally honest memoir. * The Independent * A brilliant, emotional memoir . . . Takes the darkness of his own life and of those around him and turns it into something else, something that is threaded with hope. * Mail on Sunday * A wise, sly, hilarious, and poignant account of a life's work in hard drugs and hard television. -- Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Netanyahus Illuminating. * The Observer * The most gorgeously humane voice I've encountered in a work of nonfiction in a long while. I can think of few recent books that have pulsed with life this transparently, this powerfully. -- Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm Like the best memoirs, Life's Work is intimate, exquisitely observed, and intense. But unlike most - and what sets it apart - is the heartbreak it embodies, the finality it signals. This is David Milch's farewell, and it will rock you. -- Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief An extraordinary story. * The Times *
