Recenzii

"A monumental task—no one has ever tackled anything like this in writing about writers. Well done."

“A comprehensive tome that will be appreciated by the film and TV writers who wrote, are still writing, or will someday write.”

"An original and immensely interesting book, addressing a topic of both scholarly and general interest."
"What an important story Miranda Banks tells, and how brilliantly she tells it. The voices of hundreds of writers shine through this history of a neglected but crucial sector of Hollywood production culture. A vital contribution to the field."

"Well-informed survey of film and TV writers’ decadeslong battle to defend their economic and creative interests. Banks writes lucidly about complex financial and technical issues, giving a solid, unromantic sense of working writers’ lives."

"[The Writers] is an important contribution to Hollywood history, to studies of the labour movement in the United States, and to explorations of cultural labour. It is an entertaining and compelling story of what is special about artists as workers and what is common to all workers faced with the volatile labour relations of modern neoliberal capitalism."
