Sinopse

In "The Transgression of Andrew Vane," Guy Wetmore Carryl crafts a compelling narrative that deftly intertwines elements of humor and morality within a framework reminiscent of the early 20th-century American literary tradition. Carryl employs a light, satirical prose style that mirrors the wit of his contemporaries while exploring the complexities of social norms and personal ethics through the misadventures of his protagonist, Andrew Vane. As Vane navigates his predicaments, the text raises profound questions regarding morality and the societal expectations that shape individual choices, effectively situating itself within the rich tapestry of American literature that balances critique with entertainment. Guy Wetmore Carryl, a versatile author known for his poetry and humorous writings, was deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of his time as well as his educational background, which included a focus on the classics. His experiences in various literary circles allowed him to refine his storytelling abilities, ultimately culminating in his insightful observations about human behavior and societal conventions as illustrated in this novel. The Transgression of Andrew Vane is a delightful blend of humor and moral exploration that invites readers to reflect on their own values and societal judgments. Readers seeking an engaging yet thought-provoking read will find themselves enchanted by Carryl's sharp wit and keen insight, making this work a noteworthy addition to any literary collection.

    Never Mind the Happy - Showbiz...

    From the award-winning composer/co-lyricist behind such iconic projects as Hairspray, Sister Act, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash comes a wickedly funny, no-holds-barred memoir. 
      
    In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him—spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the'70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the '80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the '90s, right up to the highs (and lows) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on. 
      
    Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman's story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops. 
      
    Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told in perfect comic timing—along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations.
