Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination
There are so many books related to Disney but I cannot remember one book that talks about Walt Disney, the man himself, the way I expect this book will do. Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination is written by Neal Gabler and he had the full cooperation of the Disney Family.
… one of Disney’s daughters, Diane, did not want the book to ignore or paper over her father’s faults. Though Diane loved her father, Gabler says she asked him to present the authentic Walt Disney. That he has done in an exhaustively researched and beautifully written work that is among the finest biographies I have ever read. (Source: Gwinnett County, Georgia)
This is a book that I will start reading from the moment it appears on my doorstep.
“More than any other American artist (Walt Disney) defined the terms of wish fulfillment and demonstrated on a grand scale to his fellow Americans, and ultimately to the entire world, how one could be empowered by fantasy — how one could learn, in effect, to live within one’s own illusions and even to transform the world into those illusions.”
