Igor Golomstock

A Ransomed Dissident: A Life in Art Under the Soviets

I.B.Tauris, 2018. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9781788312950 A clean bright copy, slight curling to top front edge of jacket. Golomstock recounts in lively style his life in three separate communities: the Moscow art world of the 1960s, the human rights movement and the post-1970s emigre milieu of London, Paris and Munich. He is an observer with strong but discriminating opinions; seldom have the personalities who inhabited these worlds - and who in many cases hated each other - been so vividly portrayed. This is an essential study for those who wish to understand the cultural and political conflicts of the late Soviet Union and the Russian emigration.--Geoffrey Hosking, Emeritus Professor of Russian History, University College London 288 pages.

Gordon Heath

Deep are the Roots: Memoirs of a Black Expatriate

University of Massachusetts Press, 1992. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Very Good. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; top corner clipped from front flap of jacket, colour faded to rear, slight rubbing. An accomplished actor whose career spanned 5 decades on the stages of New York, London and Paris, Gordon Heath (1918-1991) achieved national prominence in 1945 for his starring role in the Broadway production of "Deep Are the Roots", a searing exploration of American race relations at the close of World War II. In this memoir, Heath tells the story of his formative years - his childhood on Manhattan's West Side, his summer sojourns at a camp for black youngsters in upstate New York, his awakening sexuality, his education in and out of school, his training in music, art, voice and dance, and his plunge into a life in the theater. Recounting his experiences from Broadway to London's West End, he offers deft sketches of such friends as Owen Dodson, Elia Kazan and Pearl Primus. The result is an engaging portrait of a black artist as a young man and an important contribution to theatre. Illustrated. 192 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
