Until the first edition of "Steven Spielberg: A Biography" was
published in 1997, much about Spielberg's personality and the
forces that shaped it had remained enigmatic, in large part because
of his tendency to obscure and mythologize his own past. But in
this first full-scale, in-depth biography of Spielberg, Joseph
McBride reveals hidden dimensions of the filmmaker's personality
and shows how deeply personal even his most commercial work has
been.
This new edition adds four chapters to Spielberg's life story,
chronicling his extraordinarily active and creative period from
1997 to the present, a period in which he has balanced his
executive duties as one of the partners in the film studio
DreamWorks SKG with a remarkable string of films as a director.
Spielberg's ambitious recent work--including "Amistad," "Saving
Private Ryan," "A. I. Artifucial Intelligence," "Minority Report,"
"The Terminal" and "Munich"--has continually expanded his range
both stylistically and in terms of adventurous, often
controversial, subject matter.
"Steven Spielberg: A Biography" brought about a reevaluation of
the great filmmaker's life and work by those who viewed him as
merely a facile entertainer. This new edition guides readers
through the mature artistry of Spielberg's later period in which he
manages, against considerable odds, to run a successful studio
while maintaining and enlarging his high artistic standards as one
of America's most thoughtful, sophisticated, and popular
filmmakers.
