Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Red Hot + Blue is a meditation on musics capacity to find us, transform us, and help us make sense of our historical moment. Blending memoir and cultural history, Garrison recalls his coming out at the height of the AIDS crisis alongside the music industrys first major response to the epidem…ic. In 1990, a groundbreaking effort by musical artists sought to combat the silence and stigma about the disease. The resulting tribute album to legendary composer Cole Porter was evocatively titled Red Hot + Blue, capturing both the joy and melancholy that accompany love during turbulent times. It re-imagined those iconic songs including Dont Fence Me In, Every Time We Say Goodbye, Night and Day not just to celebrate the composer but also to offer a shared vision for survival. In this book, Garrison reflects on his own life story through the lens of Porters life and music to illuminate the emotional landscape we all navigate in the search for love. Red Hot + Blue returns us to the early 1990s to reveal how the love songs of the past can be revived to speak to new audiences in times of need. The book is the portrait of an album, a pandemic, and a young gay mans coming of age in the era of both.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Pause and look around: you will see that you are surrounded by glass. It reflects and refracts light through your windows; it encircles a glowing filament above you; its in a mirror hang…ing on the wall; it lies shattered in a dented corner of an iPhoneyoure drinking water out of a pint glass. Taking up a most common object, rarely considered because assumed to be transparent, John Garrison draws evocative connections between historical depictions of glass and emerging visions that see it as holding a unique promise for new forms of interaction. Grounded in everyday examples, this book offers a series of surprising insights into how we increasingly find ourselves living in a world made of glass.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
