Reviews
"Besides assembling dozens of disparate writings about Davis, editor Early, in a scintillating introduction, treats Davis' 'guilt for his lack of acceptance by blacks,' his subsequent limp attempts to add 'more "soul" material to his act,' and other intriguing matters. One standout in the collection is the excerpt from unwilling porn star Linda Lovelace's memoirs that recounts how she taught Davis her infamous 'deep throat' technique, which he then tried out on her monumentally uncomfortable manager-tormentor-husband . . . Other highlights include May Britt's Ebony article, 'Why I Married Sammy Davis, Jr.'; Sidney Poitier's and Shirley MacLaine's remarks; a sampling of Rat Pack reminiscences; and some articles from Confidential, mid-twentieth-century America's number one sleazy scandal magazine. And besides such entertainingly raunchy stuff, there is serious consideration of Davis' cultural significance."-Mike Tribby, Booklist "Over the top . . . Early has gathered some interesting period pieces that capture the racial climate of the times, such as 'Why I Married Sammy Davis Jr.,' a 1961 article for Ebony written by Davis's first wife, May Britt . . . Recommended."-Rosellen Brewer, Monterey County Free Libraries, Salinas, California, Library Journal

Synopsis
The life and times of the last great American hipster Sammy Davis, Jr. (1925-90) rose from childhood stardom on the vaudeville stage to become one of the most famous African American entertainers of the 1950s and '60s (and the only black member of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack). At the same time, he spent most of his career surrounded by controversy and ridicule--over his affairs with white film stars like Kim Novak and Jean Seberg; his 1960 marriage to Swedish actress May Britt; his conversion to Judaism; his closeness to the Kennedys and, later, Richard Nixon; and his problems with alcohol and drugs. Davis comes alive in this collection of writings about him, including a 1966 Playboy interview by Alex Haley; an excerpt from the 1983 autobiography of porn star Linda Lovelace; profiles from The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and The Saturday Evening Post; and articles from many prominent African American periodicals. The Sammy Davis, Jr. Reader is a composite portrait of a complex, self-conscious man and the society that treated him, for more than forty years, with passionate ambivalence.

- y***k (396)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThe book I received was described as "hardback" and "Very Good". What I received was a paperback with a badly creased cover and pages. The seller sent me a better copy but “hardback” was a misleading description. Per buyer feedback, books for others have been packed with care. Mine came in a thin plastic envelope. A very good price and customer service that tries to help. Otherwise, hit or miss.
