Summary

Weaving a latticework of different strands, moving back and forth through time, Josh Brolin captures a life marked by curiosity, pain, devotion, kindness, humour. He recounts an unconventional childhood far from Hollywood. Raised on a ranch in Paso Robles, California, he was surrounded as a child by the wolves, cougars and other wild animals gathered by his fearless and explosive mother, Jane Agee Brolin. Her tragic, early death haunts this book, and the force of her unforgettable personality is felt throughout. Brolin also brings to life his career in the film industry - from his breakout role in The Goonies to the set of No Country for Old Men - and the professional and personal ups and downs in between and since. Grappling with the mysteries of life and death in a way that will catch readers by surprise, 'From Under the Truck' is an audacious and riveting memoir from a born writer.
