Songwriter Frank Loesser, the creator of Guys and Dolls among other memorable Broadway shows, was a complicated personality and not always likeable. In this intimate portrait, his daughter Susan Loesser pulls no punches, revealing the genius of the man as well as his dark side. Jazz standards readers will find this a fascinating read not only as a biography of the man and his contemporaries but as an inside look at the complexities of putting on a Broadway show and a history of the theater itself. Susan Loesser has worked as a writer and copyeditor for magazines and is currently working on a book about her mother.
