Kazan's list of Broadway and Hollywood successes--\u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront\u003c\/i\u003e, to name a few--is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazan's method: how he uncovered the \"spine,\" or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production. And in the final section, \"The Pleasures of Directing\"--written during Kazan's final years--he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElia Kazan was born in 1909 in Istanbul.
