In A Cole Porter Companion, a parade of performers and scholars offers essays on little-known aspects of the master tunesmith's life and art. Here are Porter's days as a Yale wunderkind and his nights as the exemplar of louche living; the triumph of Kiss Me Kate and shocking failure of You Never Know; and his spinning rhythmic genius and a turkey dinner into "You're the Top" while cultural and economic forces take "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" in unforeseen directions. Other entries explore notes on ongoing Porter scholarship and delve into his formative works, performing career, and long-overlooked contributions to media as varied as film and ballet.
Prepared with the cooperation of the Porter archives, A Cole Porter Companion is an invaluable guide for the fans and scholars of this beloved American genius.

Store description
The Enigmatic Reader is the unexpected outcome of years of book collecting. After filling up the house to an extreme, (the attic was on the brink of collapse) we decided we had no choice but to share the riches. Luckily about this time the internet became a great place to connect book-buyers with book-sellers. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to connect people with the books they are looking for. Let us know your interests and we will try to find a book to match them. If you find a book on our list that you really want but you can't afford it, let us know - maybe we can work something out. Our descriptions are not too detailed, but we do try to describe the basics and point out any major flaws.…
