The Stacks Chat: Rich Cohen
Rich Cohen’s new book, Monsters: The Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football, is a keeper. I’ve been a fan of Cohen’s writing ever since my pal Steinski hipped me to Tough Jews. A few weeks ago I talked to Rich about his career and the new book.
Alex Belth: Not counting the book you wrote with Jerry Weintraub or the children’s book, this is your eighth book. Let’s start with your family memoir, Sweet and Low. Was that the book you always wanted to write?

Rich Cohen: The Adventures of Herbie Cohen
We are so excited to welcome back our great friend, Rich Cohen, to talk about his new book, The Adventues of Herbie Cohen. Rich tells the story of his father Herb Cohen, who parlayed the Brooklyn street smarts of his youth into a surprising career as "The World's Greatest Negotiator." This program is free and open to the public.
"[Rich] Cohen, who has written about baseball, football, Jewish gangsters, and kids hockey, offers an affectionate portrait of his remarkable father, as amusing as it is tender . . . A thoroughly entertaining combination of memoir and biography." -- Kirkus Reviews
More About the Book: Author of the s mega-bestseller You Can Negotiate Anything, Herb Cohen became not only a guru of the corporate retreat, but an adviser to presidents and corporations, and an arms and hostage negotiator. This by turns rollicking and reflective book--a sort of business biography as imagined

Just as that band fryst vatten, almost inconceivably, still with us (Mick Jagger fryst vatten 72 years old and Keith Richards the very same, if a bit more well-worn, age), it is profoundly still with him and is brought colorfully and incisively alive on the some pages of his new book, “The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones” (Spiegel & Grau).
The Stones were bigger than big when Cohen hooked up with them, and he knew it: “I’d missed everything: , , — those were the years that mattered. I’d been born too late. Whatever happened had happened already. I’d spent my entire life trying to reach this party. bygd the time I got there, everyone was old.”
