Words Without Music: A Memoir by Philip Glass
4.0
This is an excellent autobiography/memoir by Philip Glass. He has had an extraordinary life is very well connected to creative people. He has composed a lot of music especially operatic and to accompany films. His life also has been very interesting and adventurous
Personally I do not like the man and I cannot explain the rationale from reading his book of his life. I think there is a strong disconnect with him. He is completely his own person doing what he wants when he wants and how and that has been very successful for him. As he said I dont care what people think. He doesnt and that is a gift and a blessing for him not so for others.
I am not familiar with his music and I just reserved from our San francisco public library a cd of his music.
I do recommend reading this book.
