Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had an almost unbroken series of bestselling hits that spoke to the heart of their times. With Simon's brilliant songs and Garfunkel's stirring voice, the duo produced the flawless harmonies that thrilled a generation. This in-depth biography follows the two musicians from their Queens childhood and early days as Tom and Jerry to their role in the evolving folk-rock scene. Fame did not come quickly for the duo, but the surprise success of a remixed version of The Sounds of Silence changed their lives. Victoria Kingston traces their ascent through the pop world as they produced such classics as Homeward Bound, The Boxer, and Bridge over Troubled Water. When the director Mike Nichols approached them to create the songs for his film The Graduate, they recorded Mrs. Robinson, for which they won the first of many Grammy Awards. Simon & Garfunkel follows the duo through their breakup and subsequent solo careers, as well as through their legendary 1981 concert in Central Park and 1982 international reunion tour.

"Poetic musings on a life well-lived—one that is still moving forward, always creating, always luminous. This isn't your typical autobiography. Garfunkel's history is told in flowing prose, bounding from present to past, far from a linear rags-to-riches story." —Bookreporter "It's hard to imagine any single word that would accurately describe this book . . . an entertaining volume that's more fun to read than a conventional memoir might have been." —The Wall Street Journal "A charming book of prose and poetry printed in a digitalized version of his handwriting . . . witty, candid, and wildly imaginative . . . A highly intelligent man trying to make sense of his extraordinary life." —Associated Press From the golden-haired, curly-headed half of Simon & Garfunkel, a memoir (of sorts)—moving, lyrical impressions, interspersed throughout a narrative, punctuated by poetry, musings, lists of resonant books loved and admired, revealing a life and the making of a musician, that show us, as well, the evolution of a man, a portrait of a life-long friendship and of a collaboration that became the most successful singing duo in the roiling age that embraced, and was defined by, their pathfinding folk-rock music. In What Is It All but Luminous, Art Garfunkel writes about growing up in the 1940s and ‘50s (son of a traveling salesman, listening as his father played Enrico Caruso records), a middle-class Jewish boy, living in a redbrick semi-attached house on Jewel Avenue in Kew Gardens, Queens. He writes of meeting Paul Simon, the kid who made Art laugh (they met at their graduation play, Alice in Wonderland; Paul was the White Rabbit; Art, the Cheshire Cat). Of their being twelve at the birth of rock’n’roll (“it was rhythm and blues. It was black. I was captured and so was Paul”), of a demo of their song, Hey Schoolgirl for seven dollars and the actual record (with Paul’s father on bass) going to #40 on the charts. He writes about their becoming Simon & Garfunkel, ruling the pop charts from the age of sixteen, about not being a natural performer but more a thinker, an underground man. He writes of the hit songs; touring; about being an actor working with directors Mike Nichols (“the greatest of them all”), about choosing music over a PhD in mathematics. And he writes about his long-unfolding split with Paul, and how and why it evolved, and after; learning to perform on his own . . . and about being a husband, a father and much more.

Simon and Garfunkel were one of the greatest acts of the sixties, whose output formed an almost unbroken series of bestselling hits. With Paul Simon's brilliant songs and Art Garfunkel's voice, the duo produced the flawless and awe-inspiring harmony that thrilled a generation. This in-depth biography follows their careers from their childhood in Queens and their early days as 'Tom and Gerry', which produced the hit single 'Hey Schoolgirl', to their role in the evolving folk scene in the sixties. Victoria Kingston traces Paul Simon's famous tour of one night stands in the north of England, talking to the people who hired him for (pound)10 a night and finding fresh insights into this important period of his life. Fame came unexpectedly for the duo, catapulting them unprepared from relative obscurity to chart-topping success. While they went on to produce such classic songs as 'The Boxer', 'The Sound of Silence' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', the pressure of stardom ironically hastened the end of their partnership and almost ruined their friendship. Victoria Kingston analyses the characters of the two men, showing how they initially complemented each other but how, in the end, Paul Simon was unable to work in tandem with Art.
