Title: Bad First Outing
Review: Oscar Levant wrote two great books. This isn't one of them. Written around 1940, the book is just stream-of-conscious writing better left to real writers. The books he wrote in the sixties were pretty much the same way, but by that time, Levant had developed into a good writer, and didn't write so many boring dissertations on the great composers and conductors of the 19th and 20th centuries.Skip this book and read "Memoirs of an Amnesiac", "The Unimportance of Being Oscar", and his biography "A Talent for Genius", written in 1992, and available on Amazon.
