Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The definitive biography of Cole Porter the urbane American composer of musical comedies and of over 1000 songs which reveals the darker side of the star whose life and work epitomizes the romance of Cafe Society. Cole Porter composer of Night and Day, Easy to Love and Ive Got You Under My Skin is familiar to three generations. His tunes conjure up romance, glamour and cultivated sensuality. William McBrien charts Porters life, beginning on a fruit farm in Indiana and moving on to Yale, Harvard and the Paris Conservatoire. After roaming bohemian Europe for a decade with his rich and beautiful wife, Porter made his name in the 1930s with hit shows like Anything Goes. A riding accident left him in constant pain, but he continued to write shows like Kiss Me Kate and Silk Stockings until his death in 1964. McBrien contrasts Porters refined, elegant music with the pain and passion of a life which mixed devotion to his wife with numerous homosexual love affairs. Having talked to friends and colleagues (including Bob Hope, Diana Vreeland, Stephen Sondheim) who have never spoken about him before, and researched Porters lyrics and correspondence, McBrien makes new links between his life and work, revealing how his own particular brand of hedonism was his protection against encroaching darkness. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The definitive biography of Cole Porter the urbane American composer of musical comedies and of over 1000 songs which reveals the darker side of the star whose life and work epitomizes the romance of Cafe Society. Cole Porter composer of Night and Day, Easy to Love and Ive Got You Under My Skin is familiar to three generations. His tunes conjure up romance, glamour and cultivated sensuality. This biography charts Porters life, beginning on a fruit farm in Indiana and moving on to Yale, where his social charm and musical gifts earned him leadership of the Glee Club. From Yale he moved to Harvard, where he roomed with Dean Acheson, and on to the School of Music and the Paris Conservatoire to study music theory, history, harmony and counterpoint. In 1919, Porter married the rich and beautiful Linda Thomas. The pair spent a decade roaming glamorous, bohemian Europe and Porter, sponsored by Irving Berlin among others, experienced the beginnings of success with his songs before making his name in the 1930s with hit shows like Anything Goes. A riding accident left him in constant pain, but he still continued to write shows like Kiss Me Kate and Silk Stockings until his death in 1964. William McBrien contrasts Porters refined, elegant music with the stoicism, pain and passion of a life which mixed devotion to his wife with numerous homosexual love affairs. Talking to friends and colleagues (for example, Bob Hope, Diana Vreeland, Stephen Sondheim) who have never spoken about him before, McBrien paints a picture of Porters sophisticated and unstable world in Europe and America. Researching Porters lyrics and correspondence, McBrien makes new links between his work and life and reveals how Porters particular brand of hedonism nonchalance, lovely pals, glamorous venues, splendid tailoring, good hotels, and love was his protection against encroaching darkness. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Octavo hardcover; black boards with gilt spine titling; 459pp., monochrome illustrations. Minor wear; slightly rubbed dustwrapper with mild wear to edges. Near fine and wrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. In his life and in his music, Cole Porter was the top - the pinnacle of wit and sophistication. From the 1910s through the '50s, from Yale pep rallies through the Broadway triumphs of Anything Goes and Kiss Me, Kate, he delighted audiences with a glittering torrent of song: "I Get a Kick Out of You." "Night and Day," "Love for Sale," and "Just One of Those Things." The bright surface of these gems - their catchy melodies and ingenious lyrics - made them instant pop hits. Their more subtle qualities and their musical and emotional depth have made them lasting standards, among the greatest glories of the American songbook. In Cole Porter, William McBrien has thoroughly captured the creator of these songs, whose life was one not only of wealth and privilege but also of tragedy, secrecy, and courage. A prodigal young man, Porter found his aesthetic and emotional anchor in a long, loving, if sexless marriage, while continuing to maintain many discreet affairs with men. In 1937, at the height of his success, he suffered a near-fatal riding accident; his last eighteen years were marked by pain, drugs, and repeated operations on his legs, years of physical agony but unstinting artistic achievement. Here is the book that Porter's fans have long hoped for - a life that informs the great music and lyrics though illuminating glimpses of the hidden, complicated, private man.
