Summary
"For this new volume, Taylor's biographer, James Pegolotti, has selected the best of Taylor's writings, both on music and social issues. Divided into parts reflecting a chronological look at Taylor's entire career (from humorous poems of the 1910s to an article in Sports Illustrated in 1959), the work exposes the reader to Taylor's wit and keen intellect. Pegolotti has written brief introductions for each section, placing Taylor's work in the context of its time."--BOOK JACKET.
