New York Times BestsellerAn NPR Best Book of the YearWinner of the Chicago Tribune Literary AwardFinalist for the Marfield Prize, National Award for Arts Writing'Reads the way Mr. Glass's compositions sound at their best: propulsive, with a surreptitious emotional undertow.' Corinna da FonsecaWollheim, New York TimesPhilip Glass has, almost singlehandedly, crafted the dominant sound of latetwentiethcentury classical music. Yet in Words Without Music, his critically acclaimed memoir, he creates an entirely new and unexpected voice, that of a born storyteller and an acutely insightful chronicler, whose behindthescenes recollections allow readers to experience those moments of creative fusion when life so magically merged with art. From his childhood in Baltimore to his student days in Chicago and at Juilliard, to his first journey to Paris and a lifechanging trip to India, Glass movingly recalls his early mentors, while reconstructing the places that helped shape his creative consciousness. Whether describing working as an unlicensed plumber in gritty 1970s New York or composing Satyagraha, Glass breaks across genres and recreates, here in words, the thrill that results from artistic creation. Words Without Music ultimately affirms the power of music to change the world. 32 pages of photographs
