My life among the giants, a memoir

"This book is the result of encouragement from Barry's longtime friend, Jerry Stiller, to recount the very rich experiences of his life. As Jerry Stiller wrote to Barry: 'You're an express train that hasn't reached its destination ... You should be more recognized.' Barry says: 'What I've written involves a lifetime of being welcomed into literally dozens of circles of the world's most powerful individuals, globally, with vivid memories of how they were as 'people' Rather than 'name-dropping', the memories I'm sharing are related in awe and gratitude of my privilege to have had their private selves be shared with mine, and vice-versa, personally and professionally.'"--Amazon.com.
