What reading level is Why Sinatra Matters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
–NELSON ALGREN, The Man with the Golden Arm 3 LONELY TOWN As an artist, Sinatra had only one basic subject: loneliness. His ballads are all strategies for dealing with loneliness; his up-tempo performances are expressions of release from that loneliness. The former are almost all fueled by abandonment, odes to the girl who got away. The up-tempo tunes embrace the girl who has just arrived. Across his long career, Sinatra did many variations on this basic theme, but he got into real trouble only ...when he strayed from that essentially urban feeling of being the lone man in the crowded city. He is at his most ludicrous in the film clip where he sings “Ol’ Man River” in a white tuxedo; he is at his most self-parodic in the part of the Trilogy album when he addresses a hymn to himself while a celestial background choir chants, “Sinatra! Sinatra!” Like all great stars, he was susceptible to the twin temptations of flattery and mythomania. But in the end, his finest work takes place at the midnight hour, when he tells the bartender that it’s a quarter to three and there’s no one in the place except you and me.
