Rorem, Ned. (1923–2022). "Ned Rorem Reader" - Signed book advertisement (flyer).
Signed copy of a flyer advertising the book A Ned Rorem Reader (New Haven: Yale University Press, [2001)], an anthology of the American composer's writings. Inscribed, "To Steve Joscik [sic; should be "Juscik"] / always / Ned Rorem." 11 x 8.5 inches (28 x 21.5 cm). Horizontal fold; else in fine condition.
"Outside musical circles, Rorem became known for his writing, particularly his diaries. The Paris Diary of Ned Rorem (New York, 1966) includes sharp, elegantly written observations on culture, people, music and more. His nonchalant, guiltless accounts of his homosexual life, three years before the Stonewall uprising started the modern gay liberation movement, made Rorem a hero to 1960s youth." James Holmes, Anthony Tommasin and Arlys McDonald in Grove Music Online
