For more than three decades James Kaplan’s profiles of more than a hundred of America’s most famous people have appeared in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and The New York Times Magazine. His other books include biographies of Jerry Lewis and John McEnroe, and the novels Pearl’s Progress and Two Guys From Verona, a 1998 New York Times Notable Book. The Voice, the first volume of Kaplan’s “marvelously thoughtful” (Los Angeles Times) biography of Frank Sinatra, told the story of the legendary performer’s rise to fame as a star of screen and stage. Arriving on the eve of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ centennial, The Chairman follows Sinatra’s life after his 1954 Oscar victory.
