  The esteemed American composer and unabashed diarist Ned Rorem provides a fascinating, brazenly intimate first-person account of his life and career during one of the most extraordinary decades of the twentieth century Ned Rorem is often considered an American treasure, one of the greatest contemporary composers in the US. In 1966, he revealed another side of his remarkable talent when The Paris Diary was published, and a year later, The New York Diary, both to wide critical acclaim. In The Later Diaries,Rorem continues to explore his world and his music in intimate journal form, covering the years 1961 to 1972, one of his most artistically productive decades. The Ned Rorem revealed in The Later Diaries is somewhat more mature and worldly than the young artist of the earlier works, but no less candid or daring, as he reflects on his astonishing life, loves, friendships, and rivalries during an epoch of staggering, sometimes volatile change. Writing with intelligence, insight, and honesty, he recalls time spent with some of the most famous, and infamous, artists of the era—Philip Roth, Christopher Isherwood, Tallulah Bankhead, and Edward Albee, among others—openly exploring his sexuality and his art while offering fascinating, sometimes blistering, views on the art of his contemporaries.

Having moved home for a fresh start, Emma's facing the ultimate re-do list when she abruptly comes face to face with Aubrey Glass, the source of Emma's teenage yearning.Aubrey wouldn't recognize yearning if it tornadoed into her face, but she does recognize Emma . . . even if she wishes she didn't. Socializing, especially with her past, is Aubrey's least favorite activity.

With plenty of fumbles and missteps, it doesn't seem likely that they'll manage to merge their paths, nor does it always seem that they want to . . . until suddenly, it's the only thing that makes sense to either one of them.

  MOLLY 
  Moving to Seattle is supposed to be all about getting a fresh start and leaving the bitter man I was becoming behind. 
  I have new roommates–quirky, sometimes strange, roommates–a nosy, next door neighbor and a grumpy kitty for company, but even surrounded by people, I still don’t feel like I belong. Plus, it turns out the men in Seattle are exactly the same as the ones I left behind, and my string of romantic disconnections continues. 
  It’s not until one of my roommates, Seven, hits me with some hard truths that I realize where I was going wrong. 
  Maybe the men aren’t the problem. 
  I am. 
  And there’s only one way to fix that. 
  SEVEN 
  Being found tied up naked to my bed by my cute new roommate isn’t an ideal way for us to start a friendship. 
  But apparently a quid-pro-quo is. 
  He keeps his pretty lips zipped about the compromising position, and I step in as his dating coach. We go out, I note where he’s going wrong, and he magically becomes dating material. 
  The problem is, between my codependent brother Xander and a new best friend I can’t get rid of, Molly and I are the target of a matchmaking scheme. My life is way too busy to add another person to it, and Molly is the kinda guy who needs to be made a priority, which I just can’t do. Xander’s medical anxiety takes up too much of my time, and I’ve never found a partner who doesn’t resent it. 
  I’m determined to help Molly find his ever after. 
  But that guy will never be me.
