Printed in an unusual creative text, as described at the rear of the book A NOTE ON THE TYPE:” The text of this book was set in a digitized version of Art Garfunkel’s handwriting, created specifically for this project by North Market Street Graphics in 2016.” From the dust jacket flap notes:” From the golden-haired, curly-headed half of Simon & Garfunkel - a memoir (of sorts): artful, moving, lyrical impressions of a life that reveal the making of a musician, the evolution of a man; a portrait of a lifelong friendship and of a collaboration that became the most successful singing duo in the roiling age that embraced, and was defined by, their pathfinding music. He writes of the hit songs, touring, sex on tour for the thrills, reading books to calm it down, the road to walk it off...he writes of his wife to ease his soul and children to end the aloneness...about being an actor working with director 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...about his voice going south (a stiffening of one of his vocal cords) and working to get it back...about being a husband, a father, and much more.” Book’s been stored in a smoke free home with four short haired pets.
