Item description from seller

Quarto; hardcover; 254pp., with many monochrome illustrations. Minor wear. Scuffed dustwrapper with light wear to edges; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good to near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "Though she had a voice as distinctive as Piaf's, Mabel Mercer's or Billie Holiday's, Lotte Lenya's husky vibrato was not always pretty. However, it was consistently warm, honest and expressive, and her singing immortalized the music of her first husband, Kurt Weill. This book a combination scrapbook and memoir, has been assembled by David Farneth to celebrate Lenya's 100th birthday. It is lavishly illustrated with photographs from her shows, program and album covers, caricatures and publicity shots; the text has been culled from letters, journals, interviews and Lenya's unfinished autobiography. As she discusses her life and times, Lenya proves to be a canny and humorous observer. Following Weil's death in 1950, she declared that the 'task of my life' was to make his music better known in the United States, a task that she soon began to fulfil in a legendary long-running production of 'The Threepenny Opera.' As evidenced here, Lenya became a ferocious guardian of Weill's legacy until her own death in 1981. In her own words, Lenya comes across as an extremely shrewd if loving person. Whether singing or writing, she had a strong and appealing voice, and it is easy to see why Tennessee Williams began each morning listening to her." - David Kaufman.
