Learn moreA tribute to and exploration of the magic behind one of Hollywood’s most legendary and unknowable stars, Keanu Reeves, and the profound lessons we can learn from his success
There can be no doubt: Keanu Reeves is a phenomenon. He’s at once a badass action star, a hunky dreamboat who People magazine has called “the Internet’s boyfriend,” a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, a niche art book publisher, a living meme, and a legend. He seems to upend every rule governing celebrity in the twenty-first century. But how?
In Keanu Reeves: Most Triumphant, cultural critic Alex Pappademas attempts to address Keanu’s unmatched eternality and the other big questions raised by his career arc. Sharp, funny, deeply researched, and fully celebratory of the enigmatic actor, this is the first book to take Keanu’s whole deal as seriously as it deserves. Yes, even Johnny Mnemonic, where Keanu mind melds with a dolphin. Along the way, Pappademas reveals the lessons we can learn from Keanu about Hollywood, our broader culture, and even life itself.
Alex Pappademas is a writer who lives in Los Angeles. His reported features and critical essays have appeared in the New York Times, GQ, Grantland, The New Yorker, and the Los Angeles Times. This is his first book.
Alex Knox has worked for several years as an actor on stage and screen. He currently lends his talents to audiobook narration full-time, where he narrates numerous genres. Born in Santa Monica, he grew up in Irvine, California and currently records from his fully-equipped home studio in Los Angeles.
Reviews
“Descriptions of scenes from Reeves’s films…help illuminate his earlier and lesser-known roles. Pappademas also frequently notes Reeves’s nonstandard Hollywood personality...Highlighting the cultural moments surrounding Reeves, as well as some of the acting choices that have made him such an intriguing performer over the years, this is a solid addition to any library’s pop culture collection.”
