Lin-Manuel Miranda

The Education of an Artist
Book • 2025
This authorized biography traces Lin-Manuel Miranda's path from a sensitive child of Puerto Rican immigrant parents in Manhattan to a global theatrical icon, winner of multiple Tonys, Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize, and a MacArthur Genius Grant.

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner reveals how Miranda synthesized his Latino heritage with hip-hop, pop, and Broadway styles to redefine musical theater.

Drawing on extensive interviews and full access to Miranda's inner circle, the book delves into the formative experiences, collaborations, and creative openness that shaped his groundbreaking works including Hamilton, In the Heights, and songs for Disney's Moana and Encanto.
