| Here is the new literary cocktail:
Marriage-on-the-rocks. The bartender? Celebrated
bandleader Artie Shaw. The book, long out of print,
recently fetched up to $75 a copy. Artie Shaw, who was himself married seven times, knows much about marriage and its disintegration. His wives have included movie actresses Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, and Evelyn Keyes. Shaw, a most evocative storyteller, describes three examples of love gone bad. When these three short novels were originally published, Terry Southern wrote: "Here is a deeply probing examination of the American marital scene. I flipped over it!" Robert Lewis Taylor wrote: "...love, marriage and divorce, an area in which Artie Shaw is uniquely, and perhaps painfully, expert." To which author Frederic Morton added: "Shaw shows himself to be a highly original and often brilliant literary artist." In I Love You, I Hate You, Drop Dead! you will encounter passion vs. suspicion, love vs. prejudice, and passion vs. greed. Many readers will recognize themselves in this book, and many a husband and wife, and lover and mistress, will do some quiet introspection after reading it. The whipped cream on the cake is a new introduction by Shaw in which he names the people who served as the role models for many of his not-so-fictitious characters. |
