Other Entertainment: Collected Pieces Rorem, Ned
0684822490 / 9780684822495 Very Good.
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1996 Simon & Schuster. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight; never read. Light wear to jacket. 336pp. Language: English. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. 'For his 14th book, the best writer among living American composers collects pieces mostly written to fulfill commissions--as is most of his music, he loves to remind us--and 3 interviews. Two-thirds of the essays are about music and musicians; the rest, about literature. The interviews saliently include Rorem's conversation with waspish critic John Simon about the latter's reputed homophobia and, in something of an about-face, gay-activist physician Larry Mass' with Rorem about his reticence to consider homosexuality as an influence on art, especially opera, and modern audiences. Everywhere, Rorem attractively demonstrates his strengths as a memorable and amusing commentator on culture. Chief among those strengths are the fearlessness with which he characterizes an artist's style, content, and attitude, and his ability to crystallize the leitmotivs of his analysis into apothegms that are as applicable to our common life as to the life of art--We are what we repeat, for example, and Wit stems from irony, not situation. And then there is his charm.'--Ray Olson, Booklist.
