  • Comments: Significant staining, on the other hand, might suggest exposure to various environments and situations. Whether it be a coffee stain from a leisurely morning read or water damage from a rainy day commute, each mark contributes to the book?s unique history. While some might view these imperfections as detriments, others see them as tangible connections to the book's past, enhancing its authenticity and charm.

AUTHOR

Margolick, David, Als, Hilton

SUMMARY

From four-time Pulitzer Prize nominee David Margolick, STRANGE FRUIT explores the story of the memorable civil rights ballad made famous by Billie Holiday in the late 1930s. The song's powerful, evocative lyrics-written by a Jewish communist schoolteacher who, late in life, adopted the children of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg-portray the lynching of a black man in the South. Holiday's performances sparked conflict and controversy wherever she went, and the song has since been covered by Lena Horne, Tori Amos, Sting, and countless others. Margolick's careful reconstruction of the story behind the song, portions of which have appeared in Vanity Fair, includes a discography of "Strange Fruit" recordings as well as newly uncovered photographs that capture Holiday in performance at Greenwich Village's Cafe Society. A must for jazz aficionados.Margolick, David is the author of 'Strange Fruit' with ISBN 9780762406777 and ISBN 0762406771.
