|  | A Cure for Gravity by Joe Jackson
In this autobiography, pop musician Joe Jackson shares his feelings about those who have inspired him, including the rock band Steely Dan and the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He also illuminates the unfortunate circumstances of his childhood in a bully-ridden neighborhood that lacked appreciation for asthmatic artists such as himself. While describing his climb to pop celebrity status, Jackson adds comic details to his early days as a performer struggling for recognition. AUTHOR: Joe Jackson

 | Richard Strauss by Matthew Boyden
In this negative depiction of the German modern classical composer Richard Strauss, author Matthew Boyden portrays Strauss as a self-serving opportunist who prized commercial success over artistic recognition. Although Boyden praises Strauss for being the last of the 19th-century romantics, he emphasizes the composer's compliance with the Third Reich, arguing that Strauss was an anti-Semite who lacked principles and embraced German culture.
