Assembled over five years of research and interviews, this is the first and long overdue biography of Lesley Gore.

1963—tail fins were in, sock hops were hot, and a fairytale white knight was president. That summer, sixteen-year-old singer Lesley Gore released her debut single, “It’s My Party,” propelling her to Number One on the charts. For the next several years, the crowned Princess of Pop dominated the radio with a string of hits including “Judy’s Turn to Cry,” “She’s a Fool,” “Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows,” and the rousing anthem for independence, “You Don’t Own Me,” making her the most successful and influential solo female artist of the ’60s. But beneath the bubblegum façade was a girl squirming against social and professional pressures to simply be herself and to forge a future where she could write and perform music beyond the trappings of teenage and love triangles.

An entertaining ride through the American literary movement that defined cool and inspired generations.

The Beat Generation FAQ is an informative and entertaining look at the enigmatic authors and cutting-edge works that shaped this fascinating cultural and literary movement. Disillusioned with the repression and conformity encompassing post–World War II life in the , the Beat writers sought creative alternatives to the mind-numbing banality of modern culture. Beat Generation writers were no strangers to controversy: Both Allen Ginsberg’s prophetic, William Blakean–style poem “Howl” (1956) and William S. Burroughs’ groundbreaking novel Naked Lunch (1959) led to obscenity trials, while Jack Kerouac’s highly influential novel On the Road (1957) was blamed by the establishment for corrupting the nation’s youth and continues to this day to serve as a beacon of hipster culture and the bohemian lifestyle.

Richard Lester’s 1964 comedy turned out to be the touchstone for every music video that followed.

The story of the most significant North American guitar maker in the past 50 years.

Growing from a small custom shop in the early 1970s to the only new brand to have challenged the traditional Big Three of American acoustic guitars (, Guild, and Martin), Taylor has effectively changed the marketplace for acoustic steel-string guitars and influenced every other maker of acoustic stringed instruments.

Having pioneered the use of modern building techniques—such as utilizing CNC machines, UV-finishing, etc.—the company has been an undisputed leader when it comes to innovation. Taylor’s latest efforts are concen- trated on wood conservation, and again, the company is setting the example that the industry is following.

The definitive biography of Renaissance man Rob Zombie—the King of Macabre.

Sinister Urge is the first in-depth, career-spanning biography of heavy-metal musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie. Born Robert Cummings in 1965, Zombie is now as well known for his movies as he is for his music, which he has released and performed both as a solo artist and as part of his early band White Zombie. In both fields, he imbues his art with the vivid sense of macabre theater that has thrilled his millions of disciples since he and his band first emerged with Soul-Crusher in 1987. Although he has sold millions of albums and generated many more millions of dollars at the box office, Zombie has never taken the easy option or the predictable route. Indeed, while the music industry—and many of his peers—have fallen to their knees in the last decade or so, Zombie has found a new edge, his work undiluted by success or middle age. Drawing on original research and new interviews with band- mates and associates, Sinister Urge takes a detailed look at Zombie’s challenging oeuvre, offering close analysis of his albums MARKETING and films alongside tales of his life and work on and offstage. • Rob Zombie turns 50 in 2015 and celebrates the 30th year of his JOEL MCIVER (London) is the author of 26 books on career music.

1132988 2015FallBookCat.indd 31 4/30/15 3:39 PM OCTOBER Afternoon of a Faun How Debussy Created a New Music for the Modern World by Harvey Lee Snyder Amadeus Press

An engaging popular biography of the French composer who revolutionized classical music.

Claude Debussy was the father of the modern era in classical music. His innovations liberated Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Bartók to write their iconoclastic works, and his harmonic inven- tions are still heard in American jazz. Though he was among the most compelling figures of the Belle Époque, his life is little known to all but scholars; and of his considerable musical output, only Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, La mer, and Clair de lune are widely known. Harvey Lee Snyder addresses this cultural neglect by presenting the composer and his music, without jargon or bio- graphical trivia, in a richly detailed, accurate narrative that reads like a novel. Here is the story of a poor, unschooled Parisian boy swept by odd coincidences to the Paris Conservatory at age ten. Here is a brilliant man struggling to invent a tonal lan- guage capable of expressing his unique musical vision, finding MARKETING inspiration not in Bach and Beethoven but in Mallarmé’s poetry • Reviews and coverage by classical music newspaper writers and the paintings of Whistler and Turner; a man determined • Publicity campaign targeted at classical music magazines, such to end two centuries of Germanic domination of European as Listen, Whole Note, Gramophone, and Fanfare music.

One of America’s most renowned conductors tells the unforgettable story of his life in music.

Celebrated American conductor Gerard Schwarz began his career in music as a trumpet prodigy who made his first record- ings as a teenager. Having played in the orchestras of Bernstein, Boulez, Stokowski, and Leinsdorf, he was hailed as “the new Bernstein” when he gave up his solo career at age 30 to turn his talents to conducting. Schwarz raised the Seattle Symphony from obscurity to top-tier status, mostly on the basis of a comprehensive series of groundbreaking recordings. His vast discography contains some of the most exciting performances of both established and new repertoire in existence. The maestro’s high-octane lifestyle of conducting gigs, festival performances, teaching engagements, and television projects, as well as his commitment to raising awareness of the arts, have earned him the affection of audiences all over the world. Yet there’s nothing precious or pretentious about him. As cellist Lynn Harrell says, “He’s so American!” Schwarz’s down-to-earth approach to the music he loves is MARKETING part of what makes him distinctive among conductors.

1132988 2015FallBookCat.indd 33 4/30/15 3:39 PM NOVEMBERJULY Ravel A Listener’s Guide by Victor Lederer Unlocking the Masters Series Amadeus Press

An accessible, comprehensive guide to the musical genius behind Boléro and much more.

An enigma to those who knew him, the early-20th-century French master Maurice Ravel composed some of the most popular and beloved music in the repertory. In Ravel: A Listener’s Guide, Victor Lederer surveys and explores this master’s refined and utterly distinctive oeuvre. Ravel is often mentioned in the same breath as his older contemporary Claude Debussy, but the works of the two compos- ers display as many differences as similarities. Where Debussy rejected existing forms, the structuralist Ravel embraced the baroque suite and classical sonata form as vehicles for his ideas, in addition to his own concise inventions. At his best, which is where we usually find this focused stylist, passion flows just beneath some of the most exquisitely crafted surfaces in music, under which lurk ironies that raise as many questions as they answer. A perfect example is Boléro, Ravel’s most famous work; MARKETING Lederer analyzes the music and looks at the outsized role it has assumed in our culture. • Review coverage in classical music magazines, such as Lederer walks the reader and listener through Ravel’s Whole Note, Listen, Notes, and BBC Music relatively small but crucial contributions to orchestral, vocal, • Author interviews on classical radio stations chamber, and piano music.

A riveting look at the moment in time that immortalized the iconic James Dean.

In Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die, readers take an evoca- tive journey with author Keith Elliot Greenberg as he pieces together the puzzle of James Dean’s final day and its everlast- ing impact. Greenberg travels to Dean’s hometown to talk with folks who knew the star, and all the way to the California roads that underlay the tires of the actor’s infamous Porsche Spyder. Taking the story back and forth in time, Greenberg gives insight into what drove Dean to live on the edge—the early loss of his mother, his relentless drive to explore for the sake of his craft. Dean once said, “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.” He lived to experience, and the one love that compared to his love of acting was his love of racing cars. Greenberg puts the event in historical context, reflecting on the world Dean lived in at the time, an era after World War II, the end of the Korean War, the advent of rock and roll, with the sixties coming down the pike. The star’s too-soon departure froze him MARKETING as a symbol of American Cool, and as proven by the 20,000 • September 30, 2015, marks the 60th anniversary of James people who return to Dean’s grave each year to pay homage, a Dean’s death major influence on youth culture for myriad generations.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . .

From the books and movies that inspired George Lucas to imagine the Star Wars universe, to early screenplay drafts that were never filmed, to short biographies of many people who made key contributions to the movies’ success, Star Wars FAQ explores every aspect of the original Star Wars trilogy (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi). Along the way, it unearths underreported stories and illuminating minutiae often skimmed over or completely ignored in other histories of the legendary film series. Highlights include details about the Star Wars Holiday Special debacle, the Ewok TV movies, the rise of Star Wars fiction and its importance in the revival of the franchise, and the wave of Star Wars imitators and parodies that flooded theaters and TV screens in the late 1970s and early 1980s—along with dozens of rare publicity stills and photographs of vintage memorabilia.

1132988 2015FallBookCat.indd 41 4/30/15 3:39 PM OCTOBERJULY Cervantes’s Eight Interludes by Miguel de Cervantes edited and translated by Charles Patterson Applause Theatre & Cinema Books

Eight short comedies by the author of Don Quixote, in new, down-to-earth translations.

Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616) is Spain’s most famous author, primarily because of his celebrated novel Don Quixote. His first love, however, was the theater, for which he wrote extensively. His Interludes, published 400 years ago in 1615, are short, comic plays that explore the underbelly of Renaissance Spanish society. Their characters include hillbillies and con artists, pimps and prostitutes, adulterous wives and jealous husbands, and an array of other comical figures. Cervantes’ treatment of them is simultaneously critical and sympathetic. Although interludes tend to be works of light comedy, Cervantes often imbues his with deeper themes. Charles Patterson, a scholar of Hispanic theater, has created translations of the Interludes that are true to the earthiness of the originals but designed to be readily playable for today’s actors and accessible to modern audiences. This book includes an introduction that places the plays in context, briefly describing the life of Cervantes, theater in early modern Spain, Cervantes’ MARKETING interludes, and Patterson’s approach to translating them.

A smart and entertaining memoir by a groundbreaking legend who redefined the role of women in Hollywood television.

Rita Lakin was a pioneer—a female scriptwriter in the early 1960s when Hollywood television was exclusively male. For years, in creative meetings she was literally “the only woman in the room.” In this breezy but heartfelt remembrance, Lakin takes readers to a long-forgotten time when women were not considered worthy or welcome at the creative table. Widowed with three young children, she talked herself into a secretarial job at Universal Studios in 1962, despite being unable to type or take dictation. With guts, skill, and humor, she rose from secretary to freelancer, to staff writer, to producer, to executive producer and showrunner, meeting hundreds of famous and infamous show biz legends along the way during her long and unexpected career. She introduced many women into the busi- ness and was a feminist before she even knew she was one. The general public did not know her name, but Lakin touched MARKETING the lives of millions of viewers week after week, year after year. • Publicity targeting major newspapers and publications, including The relevance of her personal journey—charming yet The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and San occasionally shocking—will be an eye-opener to present-day Francisco Chronicle readers who take for granted the abundance of female creative • Interviews on local, national, and satellite radio and local and talent in today’s Hollywood. national television “Every woman in the entertainment business should read this • Promotion to organizations such as the Writers Guild of America, Women in Hollywood, Mystery Writers of America, and American book as an example of courage, fortitude, and self-confidence.

Prepare to enter another dimension— next stop, The Twilight Zone FAQ!

The Twilight Zone is among the most beloved shows in American television history, a pioneering fantasy behemoth that bridged the cultural gap between the 1950s and 1960s with thought- provoking mystery, mind-boggling theorems, and occasionally outright horror. The Twilight Zone FAQ takes the reader back to that hal- cyon era, looking back on the show and its impact as a force for societal change, via reflections on the manifold topics and controversies that the show took on—from the space race to the Red Menace, from paranoia to madness and beyond. Dave Thompson traces the history of the show—from its earliest flowering in the mind of then-unknown Rod Serling through its slow birth, shaky beginning, and breathless five-season run— and he shows how it became the blueprint for so much of the fantasy television that has followed.

BARNEY ROSSET defended personal freedom of the written word at great personal risk (he was arrested numerous times) and redefined American’s Puritanical literary parameters. Together with Beckett, his name is forever linked with his authors who include William S. Burroughs, Malcolm X, Henry Miller, Jean Genet, Harold Pinter, and D.H. Lawrence. These authors owe their publication (their right to publication) to him. He was a long time denizen of Greenwich Village.
