Leonard Bernstein: An American Musician (Jewish Lives) de Allen Shawn

I thought this was a very enlightening and easily-read summary of Bernstein's life. It also seemed even-handed, acknowledging his genius and his abilities without ignoring his flaws and faults.

Leonard Bernstein: An American Musician (Jewish… de Allen Shawn

Professionally Bernstein was a conductor, pianist, composer and teacher. But, he was also a powerful cultural and political voice and symbol. The Jerusalem Post called this book “An engrossing portrait of a gifted and conflicted man.”

Wish I Could Be There: Notes From a Phobic Life de Allen Shawn

This is not the typical memoir; it's very detailed, almost like a textbook. This guy is really smart, but sometimes I missed how much his disorder affected him emotionally.
