From under the truck: a memoir. Josh Brolin. 2024.

Weaving a latticework of different strands, moving back and forth through time, Josh Brolin captures a life marked by curiosity, pain, devotion, kindness, humour. He recounts an unconventional childhood spent on a ranch in Paso Robles, California far from the glamour of Hollywood.

As a child he was surrounded 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.

He also brings to life his career in the film industry - from his breakout role in The Goonies to the curious set of No Country for Old Men - documenting his professional and personal ups and downs with unflinching honesty. He shares insights into relationships, addiction, love and fatherhood, while letting the white space in between words speak for itself.
