Everybody likes Eddy, but that changes when he gets his 16 year old dance partner pregnant, or did he? And he's old enough to be her grand father! Dance teachers Alex and Simon agonise about what to do and ask Chris and his dance partner Shari for help. They find Eddy has a secret life and the more they find out the less they like; good old Eddy seems to have a lot to hide. He believes he is a great dancer and has huge ambition; he lives in a dream world where he's admired for his dancing and wins every dance competition. He says he's rich, but where does his money come from? Or is that too part of his fantasy world? And what about sweet and innocent Frances? She is Eddy's 16 year old dance partner, and is now his fiancée, does she honestly want to marry Eddy? Are her straight laced parents really happy about the marriage? Rumour says they are; Shari thinks not. Everyone in the dance school is worried about Frances, but they realise how little they know about her too. Frances also dreams of being a great dancer, but knows being part of Eddy's dance ambition is only a pipe dream - the baby is due in a few months and her dancing career will only exist in Eddy's make-believe ballroom. Does she love Eddy? Her answer is always yes! Her friends in the dancing school don't believe her. Chris is engaged to Cath, but do they still love each other? Shari hopes not as she loves Chris. Cath seems more in love with her dancing than with Chris. How can everything work out well when Chris and Cath are 150 miles apart and they dance with other people? Simon's wife, Virginia, faces family pressure to come home to Australia, but she is happy and wants to stay in the UK. How can she convince her mother and stop her blaming Simon, or is he really keeping her here against her will? What is real, what is fact and what is fiction in this make-believe ballroom? And how dangerous is it to look into the world of lies, fantasy and dark secrets that have created Eddy's make-believe world where what is real and what is false are so very hard to recognise?

Dark days for Hal Andrews, New York artist and scion of an eccentric New England family. His cat has just died in a plunge from his apartment window. His brother Beck, manic-depressive and hopelessly nostalgic, is about to marry Lisa Lyman, heiress to the Family Wipes fortune and certifiably the world's most abominable girl. Their sister Fishie, an Olympic swimming champion who uses her television appearances to berate Hal, has recently shaved her head bald. And their father is withholding Hal's inheritance until he becomes more responsible, or at least until he's sixty-five. Hal's artwork clutters the floors of his girlfriend's apartment and does about as much for his putative gallery. Hoping for a genius grant and settling for a decrepit dog and a derisive girlfriend, Hal's optimism begins to wane as he descends into a moody twilit world of obscure urban horror. Therefore, when a wrong number from out of town walks into his life, the situation is grim. Mary-Ann Beavers and her hostile brother arrive in New York via Greyhound, in search of celebrities and success, both rare commodities back home in Patent, Texas. She snaps her chewing gum and writes wretched poetry; her brother has bad teeth and a temper to match. While Mary-Ann stalks Liza Minnelli in the supermarket and treasures the autograph of Dustin Hoffman's agent's sister, a darkness that lasts for days falls over Hal's new but awful apartment. There is light, however, at the end of the tunnel, and Hal, in spite of himself, will bask in it. Make-Believe Ballrooms captures the true contemporary dilemma in this tale of Hal's decline and rehabilitation in much-too-postmodern New York.

Suddenly, popular music resembles an alien landscape. The great common ground of 45s, LPs, and even compact discs is rapidly falling by the wayside to be replaced by binary bits of sound. In the 21st century, radical advances in music technology threaten to overshadow the music itself. Indeed, today the generations divide over how they listen to the music, not what kinds of music they enjoy.Playback is the first book to place the staggering history of sound reproduction within its larger social and cultural context. Concisely told via a narrative arc that begins with Edison's cylinder and ends with digital music, this is a history that we have all directly experienced in one way or another. From the Victrola to the 78 to the 45 to the 33 1/3 to the 8track to the cassette to the compact disc to MP3 and beyond (not to mention everyone from Thomas Edison to Enrico Caruso to Dick Clark to Grandmaster Flash to Napster CEO Shawn Fanning), the story of Playback is also the story of music, and the music business, in the 20th century.

The seventh volume in Knopf’s critically acclaimed Complete Lyrics series, published in Johnny Mercer’s centennial year, contains the texts to more than 1,200 of his lyrics, several hundred of them published here for the first time. Johnny Mercer’s early songs became staples of the big band era and were regularly featured in the musicals of early Hollywood. With his collaborators, who included Richard A. Whiting, Harry Warren, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen, he wrote the lyrics to some of the most famous standards, among them, “Too Marvelous for Words,” “Jeepers Creepers,” “Skylark,” “I’m Old-Fashioned,” and “That Old Black Magic.” During a career of more than four decades, Mercer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song an astonishing eighteen times, and won four: for his lyrics to “On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe” (music by Warren), “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” (music by Carmichael), and “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses” (music for both by Henry Mancini). You’ve probably fallen in love with more than a few of Mercer’s songs–his words have never gone out of fashion–and with this superb collection, it’s easy to see that his lyrics elevated popular song into art.
