About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: The second time around

March 16, 2010 by Terry Teachout

pops.jpgHere’s the front cover of the forthcoming paperback edition of Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong, which will be published in October. Sharp-eyed readers will note one major correction–the cover photo, which was reversed, has been made right–as well a dozen or so near-microscopic fixes to the text.
Mrs. T is delighted that my name will be on the cover this time around. That never bothered me, but I’m pleased to see a quote from Michiko Kakutani’s rave review of Pops on the cover of the paperback. I was, not surprisingly, quite proud of that review, and still am.
If you haven’t gotten around to buying Pops yet…well, what’s keeping you?
