The All-Round Man: Selected Letters of Percy Grainger, 1914-1961
Percy Grainger was one of the most colourful of this century's cultural figures. The All-Round Man depicts that scrambling diversity through seventy-six challenging letters from Grainger's American years, 1914-61. These letters are fascination to read: they are cultivated rambles (as Grainger actually called several of his compositions), not dissimilar to today's telephone conversations. Often written in Grainger's crunchy Blue-eyed English, they explore uninhibitedly every corner of his public and private life. They reflect the magnificent attempts of a great but flawed mind to encompass the world.
