About Books, August 22.2009

David Savran is the author of "Highbrow/Lowdown: Theater, Jazz and the Making of the New Middle Class." Published by the University of Michigan Press, it's an interesting look at the tension between legitimate and popular entertainment. Figuring prominently are Gershwin, Eugene O'Neill, the Theatre Guild and many plays like Shuffle Along and The Adding Machine.
