    “I am no prophet but an American extrovert addicted to the notion that an idea is fertile only when married to action.”

    It is a good thing it was COMMENTARY, and not one of the academic journals, that asked me to comment on this lively story which the more-or-less-retired president of the New School has written about his activities up to now. For neither this prairie-bred son of a Dane (classicist, economist, journalist, editor, adult educator, promoter, reformer) nor his book fits any of the conventional categories of the academic profession. The book is not a monograph, or a treatise, or a textbook, or a research memoir, or a methodological essay; it is that highly unscientific thing, a man’s record of his own life. I must warn my students against it.

    If some of them, or some COMMENTARY rea

    The Autobiography of Joan Sutherland: A Prima Donna's Progress

    November 19,
    I should probably stop kidding myself that I'm ever going to finish this. 11th February was when I marked it as 'currently reading'. In reality, it's actually been about a year, I'm only or-so pages in, and it's still only the 's. What I've learned is that Joan Sutherland got a few good reviews and that her husband was totally HOT in his younger days. That's enough, no?

    EDIT Can finally honestly review this, now that I've actually read it.

    Bought this, brand new, when it came out and I was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, keen, young soprano looking for inspiration. I'd initially eschewed a musical university education, but was enjoying a modicum of success on the (albeit somewhat limited) amateur scene, while pursuing my law degree. And there was probably that little bit of me that hoped, one day, I might be good enough, and rich enough, to try and make a go of professional singing. I looked to this
