Joss Whedon
"Possibly the finest book of the century; It's exactly like A Tale of Two Cities, but with 30% more me."
Michael Logan, TV Guide
"Smart, surprising and vastly entertaining—just like "Buffy" itself. Even Sunnydale know-it-alls will adore this book."
Mike McDaniel, Houston Chronicle
"A fabulous service to the millions of fans of Joss Whedon, one of the most original writers working today."
Product Description
This biography of Joss Whedon, creator of television's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," offers a compelling look at one of the most talented television writers, directors, and producers of this generation. It explains how Whedon turned a midseason replacement show on the fledgling WB network into one of the most beloved shows of all time. Examined is Whedon's life from childhood to the present; his successful screenwriting career, which includes "Toy Story," "Speed," and "X-Men"; the development of "Buffy" and "Angel"; and the launch of his much-anticipated science fiction series, "Firefly." Discussed are Whedon as a producer with a self-proclaimed "feminist agenda," as a genre fan writing for genre fans, and as a leader and mentor.
