Do the young still mail hand-penned billets doux on scented stationery that will be stores in cedar chests and wistfully reread decades later? Or are love-notes (and hate-notes) more often sent by e-mail and then forgotten? [From Preface.] Publisher's noteOne of the nation's most important living composers shares his correspondence with Paul Bowles, Leontyne Price, Virgil Thomson, Reynolds Price, Angela Lansbury, Judy Collins, Cynthia Ozick, and Gore Vidal, among others. AnnotationThe revered composer Ned Rorem continues his outstanding collection of gleanings from his personal life with this volume of his letters over the course of nearly 60 years. Like his diaries, Rorem's personal correspondence is characterized by frank, witty, and highly intelligent comments on many things and people, from surgery to singers to sobriety, from Bowles to Bernstein to Brodkey. The fortunate recipients of his letters include Leontyne Price, Eugene Istomin, Angela Lansbury, Edmund White, Gloria Vanderbilt, Judy Collins, and the New York Times--over 40 in all. Presented chronologically, this selection of letters paints an unforgettable self-portrait of Rorem and his world.
