A piano prodigy becomes a wildly popular middlebrow entertainer with an innovative show in television's early years. He packs houses in concert halls around the world and tries to keep his gay sexuality hidden within his glittery persona, famously going to trial to protect the secret. Ourfree e-book for June, Liberace: An American Boy by Darden Asbury Pyron, is as entertaining as the man himself, and an extraordinary window into gay and American culture in the midst of change.
“Fascinating, thoughtful, exhaustive, and well-written, this book will serve as the standard biography of a complex icon of American popular culture.”—Library Journal. "Achieves what many readers might consider impossible: a persuasive case for Liberace’s life and times as the embodiment of an important cultural moment.”—Publishers Weekly
