Joss Whedon:
The Genius Behind Buffy
“Possibly the finest book of the century; it’s exactly like
A Tale of Two Cities
, but with 30% more me.”
—Joss Whedon
“Candace Havens nails the guy who nailed the zeitgeist. This dishy dissection of a true TV genius is smart, surprising and vastly entertaining—just like
Buffy
itself. Even Sunnydale know-it-alls will adore this book.”
—Michael Logan,

to be a cultural phenomenon, period . . . that was always the plan,” Whedon confesses.
Joss Whedon
describes the reasons behind Whedon’s intense creative drive and shows how he, very deliberately, crafted a cult sensation.
