Quote by Ned Rorem

This volume collects two personal diaries from the 1950s and early 1960s, offering a firsthand account of the author's life in two major cultural capitals. The Paris Diary records observations of expatriate life, artistic circles, and daily routines in post-war Paris, while the New York Diary shifts to the American literary and social scene of the same period. Together, they provide a candid, introspective look at the author's creative process, relationships, and the evolving cultural landscapes of both cities. more
