"A dynamic, fast-paced biography that has the verve and staccato drive of the composer himself. A fuller, more complex, more humorous, and more vulnerable picture of Gershwin than has yet appeared in print." Philip Furia, coauthor of The Poets of Tin Pan Alley: A History of America's Great Lyricists "Rimler shines in weaving together anecdotes, correspondence and a wealth of interviews with the composer and his contemporaries to create a vibrant, flesh-and-blood picture of the man and his music in a readable and enjoyable book." Amanda Borschel-Dan, The Jerusalem Post, 15th Oct 2009
