How Larry David’s new biography nearly didn’t happen

According to the Guardian, Emperor of Nothing: The Making of Larry David by author Blake J Harris is perhaps the most begrudgingly authorised biography ever written. Larry David, the titan behind Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, point-blank refused at first, insisting there was nothing interesting about him. However, after persistent efforts by author Blake J Harris—who enlisted the help of David's friends and initially bonded with his subject over a shared love of the New York Yankees—David eventually relented with a five-word email: 'Oh Jesus. If we must.' The 576-page book chronicles David's journey from Brooklyn and his struggling stand-up days to creating some of the greatest comedies in television history.
