The remarkable autobiography of Paul Rusesabagina, the globally-recognized human rights champion whose heroism inspired the film Hotel Rwanda “Fascinating…your book is called An Ordinary Man, yet you took on an extraordinary feat with courage, determination, and diplomacy.” – Oprah, O, The Oprah Magazine As Rwanda was thrown into chaos during the 1994 genocide, Rusesabagina, a hotel manager, turned the luxurious Hotel Milles Collines into a refuge for more than 1,200 Tutsi and moderate Hutu refugees, while fending off their would-be killers with a combination of diplomacy and deception. In An Ordinary Man, he tells the story of his childhood, retraces his accidental path to heroism, revisits the 100 days in which he was the only thing standing between his “guests” and a hideous death, and recounts his subsequent life as a refugee and activist.

The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, Tom Cruise and many others. As seen in The Last Movie Stars documentary. In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman's family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor's life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman's voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices - from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston - that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman's often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Brando and Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward - their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF AN ORDINARY MAN is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.

Sir, you asked me who I am. What shall I say? I have been asking myself this question for quite some time and reached nowhere. After all I am no saint to throw away everything that I have and go in search of an answer. If I had, I would have been a saint. Don’t you agree? Well I have a name, but what’s in a name? You may call me an Ordinary Man. The narrator in a series of conversations with a friend who he says is his alter ego and through his own introspections, unfolds the process of growing up and aging through an exploration of all that had brought joy in living to serious questions regarding God, religion, destiny, freewill, compassion and to whether we have been really honest in our relationships; the relationships that have affected us at various stages in our life and continue to influence even our present living. They are all locked up somewhere within our private world and which we release and relish in our solitude. Though ‘I am just An Ordinary Man’ is an autobiographical novel, it is only in parts that real events have been narrated to build a base for addressing the questions and the existential angst which arise in the mind of any person during the process of living and that the first step towards resolution is in acceptance of the reality of existence and the finality of death.

What People Are Saying About An Ordinary Man "It truly is a story like no other." - E. Randol Schoenberg, lawyer, genealogist, and author "A fascinating and moving true account that reads like a novel, memoir and adventure story of one man's family and the uncle who risked everything to save them from Nazi terror. Richly told and lovingly documented, An Ordinary Man is no ordinary story, highlighting issues of anti-Semitism, racism and LGBTQ rights, so prevalent today. As a Jewish writer, Asian Studies major and Chinese linguist, I was particularly moved by this page-turning retelling. Highly recommended." - Jana Laiz, author of Weeping Under This Same Moon "For Holocaust offspring who owe their lives to the courageous acts of kindness and out of-the-box thinking of people like Paul Patek, An Ordinary Man reminds us of a surprising truth-that the fate of Holocaust survivors continues to touch the hearts of family members across the generations." -Liane Grunberg Wakabayashi, author of The Wagamama Bride "An Ordinary Man helps you to picture what really happened to ordinary people during World War II, especially in Austria and Japan. A gripping story that brings history to life." - Dr. Clemens Jochem, author of Der Fall Foerster About the Book An Ordinary Man is history captured through a personal lens - a WW2 adventure, a family saga, a love story, and a testament to the power of the human spirit. An epic true story of a Jewish gay man's extraordinary life, from escaping Nazi oppression in Austria - saving his family via a winning lottery ticket - to finding refuge of sorts in Japan before finally settling down to a quiet life back in Vienna after the war. Paul Patek witnessed some of the 20th century's most traumatic events with an unfailing optimism and spirit. An Ordinary Man is the story of an extraordinary man whose life was so much more than ordinary. About the Author Everything Christopher Bock does is with passion and thoroughness fueled by curiosity. The list is diverse-photography, collecting baseball cards, keeping bees, and his own hardwood flooring business, Geronimo Floors. But he never thought of writing a book until he was handed his grandfather's autobiography. That same curiosity and passion led him to the extraordinary story of his grandfather's escape from Austria in 1938-and the key role a mischievous uncle played in the family's survival.

I enjoy writing. I don’t possess an imagination that can make up fiction, so I only write about actual historical events particularly those that occurred during my life. As has been said, truth can be stranger than fiction. Necessarily, my writings include stories involving my forebears, but they predominantly document events that took place during my marriage with Alida. I was born and raised in Scotland, a country known for its excellent education system. I was able to read and write before my sixth birthday. As a boy, I read extensively, first comics then the classics. I say “comics” but the weekly publications (Rover, Wizard and others) consisted solely of adventure stories, words without any pictures. Boys would create pictures in their own minds to illustrate what they were reading. I hope that readers will be able to form word pictures in their imaginations when they read the stories in this book.
