Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner’s new book is an intimate and captivating exploration of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s artistic journey, revealing how the creator of the Broadway musicals Hamilton and In the Heights found his unique voice and redefined musical theater. How did Lin-Manuel Miranda, the son of Puerto Rican parents from an immigrant neighborhood in Manhattan, rise to become the preeminent musical storyteller of the 21st century? Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist traces Miranda’s path to becoming the winner of multiple Tonys and Grammys; a global chart-topper; and the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur “Genius” Grant. Pollack-Pelzner — who has written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The New York Times — speaks about the book with Jennifer Schuessler, culture reporter for The New York Times.
