reproach from an ignorant and hostile
society. Today, however, Sondheim
speaks freely about his sexual orienta-
tion.
Secrest doesn't delve as deeply into
the relationship Sondheim had with
his father. Although cordial, it wasn't
exactly warm. Sondheim spent a good
deal of his time with Hammerstein,
who must have sensed the emotional
gap in the boy's life and effectively
filled it. To this day, Sondheim gets
misty eyed when talking about
Hammerstein.
What's refreshing about this bio is
that the author doesn't use a heavy
hand in psychoanalyzing Sondheim's
life and his work, although Secrest
does draw a few unavoidable parallels
in Sondheim's life and art. Some of
Sondheim's characters, afraid of social
contact, cry out for recognition and
approval, so it's hard to hear the lyrics
to 'Anyone Can Whistle" and "Being
Alive" without thinking of Sondheim s
private life. Secrest quotes producer
Robert Fryer: "Steve has this wall ...
there is a remoteness to him. He keeps
his distance." Actress and singer Elaine
Stritch puts it more bluntly: "He's
scary ... there's a kind of dangerous
quietness about him." Even Sondheim
himself confesses: "I've lived an isolat-
ed life. I'm virtually the boy in the
bubble."
Sondheim didn't have a blissful
childhood, despite being brought up
in relative luxury. He was sent to mili-
tary school after his parents' divorce,
although he tells the author that his
time, there wasn't unpleasant. A bril-
liant student, Sondheim did well in
school, but his attention was seized by
