PROSPECT LEFFERTS GARDEN — Daniel D’Addario has made his career as a journalist covering the entertainment industry and all its intrigue. When it came time for him to write a book, the topic was a no-brainer: he drew inspiration from the world he had been writing about for years.
Built on D’Addario’s insider knowledge as chief correspondent at Variety, “The Talent” dives deep into the world of five actresses vying for success — and maybe connection — in Hollywood.
The author didn’t take a break from his demanding day job to write the novel.
“It’s the classic thing that writers say: evenings and weekends,” he joked in an interview with the Brooklyn Eagle.
“The Talent” was released in paperback last month.
D’Addario, born in Connecticut, found his way to Brooklyn after he graduated from Columbia University. A four-bedroom apartment in Crown Heights with friends kicked off his time in the borough. He now lives in Prospect Lefferts Garden with his husband and two daughters.
“My favorite thing about my life in Brooklyn is that it’s evolved over time,” he said. “The Brooklyn of my 25-year-old self is very different from the Brooklyn of my current self. Brooklyn changes with you.”
