The Book of Mac

An album-by-album celebration of the life and music of Mac Miller through oral histories, intimate reflections, and critical examinations of his enduring work. “One of my most vivid memories of him is the way he would look at you while he was playing you a song. He tried to look you right in the eyes to see how you were feeling about it.” —Will Kalson, friend and first manager. Following Miller’s tragic passing in 2018, Donna-Claire Chesman dedicated a year to chronicling his work through the unique lens of her relationship to the music and Miller’s singular relationship to his fans. Like many who’d been following him since he’d started releasing mixtapes at 18 years old, she felt as if she’d come of age alongside the rapidly evolving artist, with his music being crucial to her personal development.
