His private life, which, by choice or otherwise, he has lived in public, is equally incredible -- and in its own, sometimes peculiar, often exaggerated way, has encompassed all three of the clichéd tenets of the popular artist (sex, drugs and rock n roll).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn seeking to explain how the artist works and where his place lies in a great tradition, Kirk Lake enters into the diverse worlds of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, opera, gay liberation, Canadian folk, neo-Conservatism, drug addiction and Hollywood musicals. He follows Wainwright's journey (from Van Dyke Parks, to rehab, to Carnegie Hall), and talks to those who have orbited close to Wainwright. Rufus Wainwright: A Biography is an intelligent, critical piece of music writing that befits the integrity and complexity of the artist's work while fully embracing the self-deprecating humour and flamboyance that embodies Rufus Wainwright, the person.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893772546277,"sku":"NP9781409103424","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_872cb1c5-85a8-42cb-928a-f024511f9332.jpg?v=1773107076","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/there-will-be-rainbows-isbn-9781409103424","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
