A funny, uncanny, unforgettable and un-celebrity memoir from Josh Brolin
.
Josh Brolin was born in 1968 and raised on a ranch in Paso Robles, California. He is a producer, director, writer, and Academy Award-nominated actor. The proud father of four children, he lives with his wife and two youngest in California.

Since the age of 10, Kaia Gerber has worked with the world’s top luxury brands, appearing on numerous international and US magazine covers. In recent years, she’s acted on the big screen and small, including appearances in Laura Dern’s “Palm Royale,” Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night” and the upcoming “Outcome “from Jonah Hill. Gerber recently launched her online literature platform, Library Science, which grew out of her platform on Instagram. She splits her time between NYC and LA, which gives her ample time to indulge in her other passion, reading.

“Josh Brolin’s out to catch his breath between the slant-eyed suggestions and irrefutable evidence of his past. He hears voices, and he listens, reminding us with brutal honesty that our surroundings were never there to be carried, rather woven into the fabric of the freedom to be who we are.” — Matthew McConaughey
.
Weaving a latticework of different strands, moving back and forth through time, Josh Brolin captures a life marked by curiosity, pain, devotion, kindness, humor. 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. With unflinching honesty but also great humor, he shares insights into relationships, addiction, love, and fatherhood, while letting the white space in between words speak for itself. 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.
