About the Author

Since 1966 and the publication of The Paris Diary, Ned Rorem has led a dual career as a composer and a writer. Time magazine has called him "the world's best composer of art songs," and Joyce Carol Oates has said that "his prose is as fresh and unfailingly interesting as his music." His five volumes of diaries, together with his memoir Knowing When to Stop, are a unique contribution to the art of autobiography and to America's cultural and social history; his many collections of essays on music have won him three ASCAP-Deems Taylor Awards. The current president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Ned Rorem divides his time between Manhattan and Nantucket.
