A Ship Without a Sail: the Life of Lorenz Hart
Gary Marmorstein
?Blue Moon,? ?Where or When,? ?The Lady Is a Tramp,? ?My Funny Valentine,? ?Isn?t It Romantic?,? ?Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered??these are just some of the unforgettable songs that lyricist Lorenz ?Larry? Hart wrote together with composer Richard Rodgers. A Ship Without a Sail is the story of the exuberant yet troubled Hart, who wrote so knowingly about the love that eluded him in his own short life.
Despite their highly successful collaborations for Broadway and Hollywood, Rodgers and Hart were an odd couple. Rodgers was precise, handsome, heterosexual, and eager to be accepted by Society. Hart was barely five feet tall, alcoholic, homosexual, most at home in a bar or restaurant, and prone to unexplained disappearances. His lyrics spin with wit, brilliance, and sophistication, yet at their core is an unmistakable wistfulness and yearning; they are all the more remarkable considering that he never sustained a romantic relationship, living virtually his entire life with his mother until his death at age forty-eight.
Gary Marmorstein?s revelatory biography brings Hart and his colorful world vividly to life, and includes many of the lyrics that define Hart?s indelible legacy.
