The Memory of All That by Joan Peyser

This is a startlingly fresh account of the life of one of the greatest 20th-century Americans, composer and songwriter George Gershwin.

This 2007 edition includes newly discovered information in an author's introduction.
Joan Peyser wrote regularly for the Arts & Leisure section of the Sunday New York Times from the late 1960s to the early 1980s and is the author of several books, including The Orchestra: Origins and Transformations; Bernstein: A Biography; The Memory of All That: The Life of George Gershwin; and Twentieth Century Music: The Sense Behind the Sound.
