Summary Note |
Making the leap from convenience store worker to international film icon, Kevin Smith has spent over twenty-five years at the forefront of pop culture. In this hilariously candid treasure trove of artefacts and anecdotes, Kevin tells the full story of his incredible life for the first time, from his early days in Highlands, New Jersey, through to the breakout success of low-budget indie smash Clerks in 1994, and the series of hit films that allowed him to build his own cinematic "View Askewniverse." Both funny and confessional, Kevin Smith's Secret Stash sees the director hold forth on all aspects of his career, including his live shows and podcasts, plus his comics and television work, such as the hit AMC show Comic Book Men. In addition to a foreword from Kevin's longtime collaborator and friend Jason Mewes, the book includes contributions from J. J. Abrams, Ben Affleck, Marc Bernardin, Ming Chen, Shannon Elizabeth, Walt Flanagan, Ralph Garman, Mark Hamill, Bryan Johnson, David Klein, Justin Long, Scott Mosier, Brian O'Halloran, Seth Rogen, Jennifer Schwalbach-Smith, and Harley Quinn Smith. Definitive, revelatory, and packed with exclusive surprises, Kevin Smith's Secret Stash is the book fans have been waiting for and a must-have for pop culture aficionados everywhere. -- Adapted from publisher's website. |
