Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; 8.6 x 5.8 x 0.9 inches; 272 pages; Ned Rorem, composer and writer, is both a gifted memoirist and one of our most acerbic cultural commentators.

The first part of the book is devoted to writing of an autobiographical nature, including ruminations on being alone and on becoming a composer. The second part focuses on music and individuals from Bartók and Ravel to Edith Piaf and the Beatles. The final part consists of portraits and memorials of such figures as Martha Graham, Paul Bowles, Marc Blitzstein, Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and Truman Capote. The book also includes a lengthy conversation on the art of the diary.
