This biography of Joss Whedon, creator of television's
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, offers a compelling look at
one of the most talented television writers, directors, and
producers of this generation. It explains how Whedon turned
a midseason replacement show on the fledgling WB network
into one of the most beloved shows of all time. Examined is
Whedon’s life from childhood to the present; his successful
screenwriting career, which includes Toy Story,
Speed, and X-Men; the development of
Buffy and Angel; and the launch of his
much-anticipated science fiction series, Firefly.
Discussed are Whedon as a producer with a self-proclaimed
"feminist agenda," as a genre fan writing for genre fans,
and as a leader and mentor.
