A tale of sabotage, subterfuge and political shenanigans set in that colorful, raucous place that was Jersey City in 1916 when America is on the cusp of war and the fate of a president and the nation might hinge on the decision a young policeman is forced to make.
Commemorating the unconventional gallerist, featuring interviews with collaborators and friends such as Dennis Cooper, Charles Ray, Kay Rosen, Tony Tasset and David Sedaris Neither a comprehensive oral history nor a biography, this reader is an intimate collection of anecdotes, reflections and musings that cohere to form a narrative portrait of a complex man and the vehicle through which he focused his artistic energy and convictions. The man in question is the visionary “artists’ dealer” behind the revered Feature Inc. gallery—the mononymous Hudson (1950–2014). The gallery, which opened and ran from 1984 to 1988 in Chicago, and then in New York City from 1988 to 2014, showcased the early work of many now-prominent artists, such as Raymond Pettibon, Kay Rosen, Vincent Fecteau, Takashi Murakami, Nancy Shaver and Jeff Koons. Presented here are over 30 interviews with Hudson’s artists, collectors, colleagues and friends. The book also includes additional selected written remembrances and dozens of images, many shared for the first time. Published on the 10th anniversary of Hudson’s death, this book is a record of Hudson’s resounding cultural impact.

I'm an actor and I can't help but feel I'm boring when I'm on as myself." - Rock Hudson A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the middle of the 20th century, there was perhaps no leading man as famous and popular as Rock Hudson, who would star in both comedies and dramas on the way to being named one of the Top 10 Stars of the Year for eight years straight (1957-1964). Whether he was starring in a comedy with Doris Day or in a drama opposite Elizabeth Taylor, the tall, impeccably dressed actor couldn't help but make girls in the audience swoon, and he was recognized as one of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs. The success of his peak years ensured that Hudson would remain a star over the course of 4 decades, and he appeared in about 70 films during his career. Today, however, Rock Hudson might be better known among contemporary audiences for his personal life. Acting in a more conservative era, Hudson struggled to keep his homosexuality out of the news for fear it would destroy his career, even though many of his Hollywood contemporaries were aware of it. After Hudson died of AIDS in 1985, perhaps the first major celebrity to die of the disease, details of his personal life began to be publicized, sometimes amidst messy legal battles. It soon became clear just what kind of pains Hudson took to keep his personal life private, and his friendships with men were highly scrutinized, as was his marriage to his agent's secretary, Phyllis Gates. At the same time, his death shined a bigger spotlight on AIDS and helped raise both awareness and funding for research into battling the disease. American Legends: The Life of Rock Hudson examines the life and career of one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Rock Hudson like never before, in no time at all.
