HELL-BENT
LORR, BENJAMIN
Hell-Bent explores the fascinating, often surreal world of Bikram Yoga, a style taught to millions by a very living
guru, Bikram Choudhury. Bikram Yoga is distinguished by the extreme heat it is practiced in (105 - 120 degrees),
an overt focus on pain, and the materialism of its founder. It is also distinguished by impressive results—elite
athletes swear by it, body-conscious supermodels swoon for it.

HELLO GORGEOUS: BECOMING BARBRA STREISAND
MANN, WILLIAM J.
In 1960, Barbra Streisand was just a seventeen-year-old Jewish kid with plenty of talent and even
more ambition. Four years later, she had taken over Broadway as the star of Funny Girl and had three platinum
albums. In Hello, Gorgeous, Mann charts that climb to fame. He takes us back to her formative years: her
relationship with her mother, her early lovers, and her husband, Elliott Gould. With access to the previously
sealed private collections of Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and many others, Mann lays out the first-ever
accurate account of the making of Funny Girl, fills in an incomplete record of Streisand's early nightclub and
television appearances, and takes us behind the scenes of the canny marketing team whose strategies made
her stardom seem inevitable. He also re-creates a vibrant piece of New York theatrical history—the dinner clubs
and the birth of Off-Off-Broadway.
