Arts & Humanities
Married to Alfred A. Knopf (who had promised her equal treatment in the eponymous publishing house, cofounded with her in 1915), she was well known in literary and arts circles in the United States, Europe, and South America but was often overlooked in her husband and father-in-law's quest to build a publishing empire. [...]her efforts on behalf of literature have long been ignored or relegated to Alfred's shadow.--Pam Kingsbury, Univ. of North Alabama, Florence Claridge, Laura. Stories are conveyed with care and humor, depicting folks with warm hearts, including musicians in his band, his first wife and other family members, best friend, longtime manager, the funeral director of the home where his body lay, and \"adopted son\" Rev. Al Sharpton. MUSIC Review by Herbert E. Shapiro Nahshon (theater & drama, Jewish Theological Seminary; Jews and Theater in an Intercultural Context ) has edited a comprehensive, albeit highly readable and lavishly illustrated history of the Yiddish Theater which, from the late 19th century through the early decades of the 20th century, thrived initially on the Lower East Side in New York and gradually, after World War I, moved uptown. Throughout musical styles are deftly connected to such anxiety-producing issues as racial tensions, women's liberation, juvenile delinquency, beatniks, the Cold War, McCarthyism, fear of a nuclear holocaust, and technological change.--David P. Szatmary, emeritus, Univ. of Washington, Seattle Wierzbicki, James.
