I Hated To Do It: Stories of a Life

A memoir by the legendary entertainment lawyer, “an advisor/pal to so many stars of stage and screen that the dazzle will leave you blinking” (Dan Wakefield, national-bestselling author).

For more than forty years, Donald C. Farber forged a path through New York’s literary, theatrical, and celebrity circles. As Kurt Vonnegut’s attorney, literary agent, and close friend, he offers a rare portrait of Vonnegut that is both candid and entertaining. A renowned entertainment lawyer with a largely famous clientele and a highly acclaimed author in his own right, Farber provides colorful anecdotes that detail the daily realities of working with Vonnegut from the perspective of the person who knew him best.

I Hated to Do It is also “an amazing account of the one survivor of his company in WWII, a man who believed in an off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks (that is still paying off his investment), and his journey in theatrical law … Don is a great storyteller who keeps you always entranced” (Dan Wakefield, national-bestselling author of Going All the Way).
