About the book
Every Ron Perlman book search leads here, to the memoir Perlman wrote with Michael Largo. Easy Street (The Hard Way) tells the story of a kid from the tenements of New York who became one of the most recognizable faces in film and television, and it tells that story the hard way, which is the only way Perlman ever did anything.
Largo's role was the co-writer's craft: shaping a working actor's long road into narrative nonfiction that moves like a story rather than a resume. It is a different muscle from his encyclopedias of death and disaster, though admirers of his catalogues will recognize the same instinct for the telling detail.
Published by Da Capo Press in 2014, the memoir stands as Largo's major collaboration, proof that the researcher who could organize centuries of mortality could also sit with one very alive subject and get the voice right.
For readers of Largo's macabre catalog, this is the detour worth taking: the same storyteller, working in daylight for once.
