Joan C. Baez: And Then I Wrote...

The Big 3 Music Corporation

The perfect time for a reissue: In October 2009, PBS will air a ninety-minute primetime special on Joan Baez as part of the Emmy Award-winning American Masters series. Told often from Baez's perspective, but supported by a rich performance and historical archive, the documentary centers on her career as a musician, power as an artist, those who influenced her, and those she championed. She will also be on a 27-city U.S. tour starting July 2009 . . . A musical force and a catalyst for social change: At the age of eighteen Baez was an international star with a Time magazine cover story; fifty years later she has thirty-three albums to her credit. She also marched alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., was jailed for supporting the draft resistance, and sang in the first Amnesty International tour. An extraordinary woman who has led an eventful life, Baez's memoir is as honest, unpretentious, and courageous as she is.

Century Books

From Publishers Weekly\nParents of the famous singer and pacifist tell of their year-long sojourn in Iraq in 1951 and how it helped to crystallize their family's values. A 10-year-old Joan drew the slight illustrations that decorate each of the short journal-like entries, where the warm, informal voices of the parents alternate in a medley of familial harmony. Albert Baez concentrates on describing his work as a physics professor and his wife on her efforts to create domestic comfort in their crude Baghdad house. We're steeped in details of trip preparations, private matters and itinerary that are the usual stuff of family vacations. Travails include their anxiety over attaining a functional bathroom, their clash with villagers who took offense at their photographing an historic site and their rainy-day outing to a movie house. One of the Baez family's ostensible motives is to register a vote for cultural diplomacy. The book, however, most resembles a testament to their beliefs, and they speak of their affiliation with the Religious Society of Friends. But, unfortunately, interest in their homey stories wanes too soon despite their good will, and readers, except those curious about the singer's upbringing, will be convinced that the treasure of these memoirs remains personal to the Baez family.

Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.\nFrom Library Journal\nIn 1951, Al and Joan Baez took their three young daughters to Baghdad for a year, where Al was on a Unesco mission to teach physics. Their experiences as a young and idealistic family in a strange, inefficient, and uncomfortable land make up this book. Alternate chapters by the two authors relate the difficulties in getting settled, the professional challenges, the many friends and kindnesses, the illnesses, and more. They conclude that the year was stressful for all, but valuable. The style is personal and prosaic, and the results are pleasant but not memorable. The only thing noteworthy about the book is that the illustrations were done by their daughter, the famed folk singer. Elizabeth R. Hayford, Associated Colls. of the Midwest, Chicago
