Pal Joey: The Novel and the Libretto and Lyrics
Autor John O'Hara, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgersen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 ian 2016
On the seedy side of Chicago nightlife in the 1930s, Joey Evans is a poor man s Bing Crosby a big-talking, small-time nightclub crooner down on his luck but always on the make. In slangy, error-littered letters signed Pal Joey, he recounts his exploits with brash nightclub managers, shady business partners, and every pretty girl ( mouse ) he meets. Charismatic yet conniving, Pal Joey is a smooth operator whose bravado and big ideas disguise a far less self-assured soul, caught up in the rags-to-riches dream of the Jazz Age.
Originally serialized in "TheNew Yorker" and the inspiration for the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical of the same name and the 1957 film starring Frank Sinatra, Kim Novak, and Rita Hayworth, "Pal Joey "is the story of a true heel, as complex and memorable as any antihero in American literature.
