Paul Solotaroff has been a senior writer at Rolling Stone for 25 years (and at Men's Journal for almost 20). He covered the NFL concussion scandal, including the Aaron Hernandez story, was the first to report the horror-show conditions at Walter Reade Hospital, and has written a series of stories that helped free innocent men who were doing life without parole in state prisons. Winner of two Genesis Awards and more than a half-dozen selections to the Best American Sports Writing anthologies, Solotaroff is a Pulitzer Prize and National Magazine Award finalist. Six of his earlier stories were optioned for TV dramas or films, including "Original Gangster," "The Fixer," "Living the Vida Macho," "Not Guilty" and "The Gangster in the Huddle." This year, four of his stories will be reborn as TV series or prestige documentaries on Netflix, Showtime, the USA network and Facebook View.

Inside the Empire: The True Power Behind the New York Yankees

by Bob Klapisch and Paul Solotaroff - Nonfiction, Sports

Using the 2018 baseball season as the backdrop, INSIDE THE EMPIRE gives readers the real, unvarnished “straight-from-the-gut” truth from Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone, Giancarlo Stanton, C.C. Sabathia --- even Hal Steinbrenner and Randy Levine --- and many more. This is baseball’s version of HBO’s award-winning NFL series “Hard Knocks.” Bob Klapisch and Paul Solotaroff take you deep into the Yankees clubhouse, their dugout and the front office, and pull back the curtain so that every fan can see what really goes on.
