Description
Leonard Bernstein's life was one of enormous celebrity, but to his eldest daughter, Jamie, he was a complex and multifaceted man. In "Famous Father Girl", Jamie Bernstein offers a deeply intimate and broadly evocative memoir that explores her childhood and the private world of the Bernsteins. Growing up, Jamie was surrounded by a cast of characters who would become famous in their own right, including the Kennedys, Mike Nichols, John Lennon, and many more. Yet, for Jamie, her father was the man in the scratchy brown bathrobe who smelled of cigarettes, the jokester and compulsive teacher who enthused about music and life. This memoir is an intimate meditation on a complex and sometimes troubled man, and the family he raised, and the music he composed that became the soundtrack to their entwined lives. A beautifully written and deeply moving book, "Famous Father Girl" is a great American story about one of the greatest Americans of the modern age.
