A Century of Sinatra: Gay Talese and Pete Hamill in Conversation - Paperback

by Stanislao Pugliese (Editor), Pete Hamill (With), Gay Talese (With)

Literary Nonfiction. Music. Film. Gay Talese and Pete Hamill discuss the life and legacy of Frank Sinatra. Like his hero, Jay Gatsby, Sinatra 'believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us.' It was that longing for a lost future that so permeated his music and life that gave it an essential quality of longing, loss, and nostalgia.
