| Sinatraland / Sam Kashner : 3 of 5 | |

 I decided to read Sinatraland after reading some of the author's essays in Esquire, and I'm glad I did. The book is a series of letters to Frank Sinatra spanning the ending years of his career in which a lonely admiring fan shares his woes with his idol. The letters are full of Sinatra references that meant nothing to me, since I'm not versed in Frank's history, but the simple thoughtfulness of the letters more than makes up for missing a few inside jokes. There's a lot of interesting male psychology and philosophy here, as the author and the reader realize that nobody, not even Frank, has all the answers.Labels: books |
