520    A shocking account of how Harvey Weinstein rose to become 
       one of the most iconic figures in the world of movies, how
       he used that position to feed his monstrous sexual 
       appetites, and how it all came crashing down, from the 
       author who has covered the Hollywood power game for the 
       New Yorker for three decades. Twenty years ago, Ken 
       Auletta wrote one of the iconic New Yorker profiles for 
       which he is famous, of the Hollywood mogul Harvey 
       Weinstein, then at the height of his powers. The profile 
       created waves for exposing how volatile, even violent, 
       Weinstein was to his employees and collaborators. But 
       there was a much darker story that was just out of reach: 
       rumors had long swirled that Weinstein was a sexual 
       predator, but no one was willing to go on the record, and 
       in the end he and the magazine concluded they couldn't 
       close the case. But the story always nagged at him, and 
       many years later, he was able to share his reporting notes
       and all that he knew with Ronan Farrow, and to cheer him 
       along with Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey as they broke 
       their pioneering stories and wrote their bestselling 
       books. But the story continued to nag at him. Farrow, 
       Twohey, and Kantor did a brilliant job exposing the trail 
       of assaults and their cover-up, but the larger questions 
       remained: what explained Weinstein's monstrousness? Even 
       more importantly, how and why was it never checked? How 
       does a man run the day to day operations of a company with
       hundreds of employees and revenues in the hundreds of 
       millions of dollars and at the same time live a shadow 
       life of sexual predation without ever being caught, for 
       years and years? How much is this a story about Harvey 
       Weinstein, and how much is this a story about Hollywood 
       and power? To answer that question fully, Ken Auletta has 
       spent the past three years constructing a full reckoning 
       with a career in film that has no parallel in Hollywood's 
       history in its combination of extraordinary business and 
       creative success and a personal brutality and viciousness 
       that left a trail of ruined lives in its wake. How did one
       thing relate to the other? Hollywood Ending is an 
       unflinching examination of Weinstein's life and career in 
       full. Not simply a prosecutor's litany of crimes, it 
       embeds them in the context of his overall business, his 
       failures but also his outsized successes. To understand 
       how he could behave as he did, we have to understand the 
       power he wielded. Iconic film stars, Miramax employees and
       board members, old friends and family, even the person who
       knew him best, Harvey's brother Bob, all talked to Auletta
       at length. The result is not simply the portrait of a 
       predator, it is a portrait of the power that allowed 
       Weinstein to operate with such impunity for so many years,
       the spider web in which his victims found themselves 
       trapped. To understand Weinstein's web is to understand 
       how many other spider webs no doubt still remain.
