On the Road and Off the Record with Leonard Bernstein: My Years with the Exasperating Genius by Charlie Harmon
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 13.6MB
Overview: A celebratory, intimate, and detailed look at the public and private life of Leonard Bernstein written by his former assistant. Foreword by Broadway legend Harold Prince.
Leonard Bernstein reeked of cheap cologne and obviously hadn’t showered, shaved, or slept in a while. Was he drunk to boot? He greeted his new assistant with “What are you drinking?” Yes, he was drunk.
Charlie Harmon was hired to manage the day-to-day parts of Bernstein’s life. There was one additional responsibility: make sure Bernstein met the deadline for an opera commission. But things kept getting in the way: the centenary of Igor Stravinsky, intestinal parasites picked up in Mexico, teaching all summer in Los Angeles, a baker’s dozen of young men, plus depression, exhaustion, insomnia, and cut-throat games of anagrams. Did the opera get written?
