Moose: Chapters from My Life
''Moose: Chapters From My Life'' is the 459-page autobiography by Academy Award winning songwriter,〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0792567/awards?ref_=nm_ql_2〕 Robert B. Sherman. "''Moose'' is a collection of fifty-four autobiographical short stories, arranged in such a way as to express a larger narrative."〔Sherman, "About Moose" in ''Moose: Chapters From My Life'', p. xi.〕 The book was edited by Sherman's younger son, Robert J. Sherman, who also provided the general layout, cover art and graphic design for the book. Other than certain pages in the "My Time" photographic sections of ''Moose,'' (which were completed after the author's death on March 6, 2012) the majority of the book, including its innovative arrangement of chapters, was created during the author's lifetime and under his personal supervision. ''Moose'' was published by AuthorHouse Publishers of Bloomington, Indiana in association with AuthorSolutions, Penguin Random House Company affiliates.〔http://gigaom.com/2012/07/19/penguin-buys-self-publishing-service-author-solutions-for-116m/〕 First publication of the work occurred posthumously, on November 26, 2013. The majority of short stories which comprise the book, were written between 1993-2004 with one or two stories having been known to exist as early as 1945. Although early "mock-up" versions of the book were circulated among Sherman's close friends and members of his family in 2004, according to the editor's introductory chapter, "About Moose", mass publication had to be delayed "for reasons too cumbersome to delve into here."〔Sherman, "About Moose" in ''Moose: Chapters From My Life'', p. xiii.〕〔http://authorhouseauthors.co.uk/authorhouse-authors/authorhouse-uk-new-releases/publishes-hollywood-legend-book-moose〕 Both the book and its author were credited in the 2013 Walt Disney film release, ''Saving Mr. Banks'' which starred Academy Award winning actors Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks. Actor BJ Novak portrayed a young Robert Sherman in the film. Several scenes from the film drew direct inspiration from ''Moose''. This was done with the author's consent.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140373/?ref_=nv_sr_1〕
==Theme, Writing Style and Early Rejection From Publishers==
''Moose'' is a collection of short stories taken from the author's life. Chapters were deliberately organized out of sequence. The purpose of this untraditional structure was to introduce the reader to the author's life story thematically rather than as a recounting of chronological events. Publishers were initially unimpressed with the author's stylistic approach, but the author felt strongly that the use of this technique was essential to the overall success of the narrative. This disagreement was, in part, what delayed publication by nearly a decade.〔Sherman, "About Moose" in ''Moose: Chapters From My Life'', p. xiii.〕
