A strange book. Large format with lots of pictures, published in the 1970s. This chronicles both Gershwins from their early years. The text is mainly made up of recollections of friends and acquaintances as well as diaries and letters from the Gershwins themselves. This may sound compelling, but it could really do with much more of a narrative to put it in context. The small narrative that was included was mainly very factual and sometimes scant on detail. George's death is covered very quickly and then Ira's life afterwards only gets a handful of pages. Unsatisfying.
