About this product
Product Information
Both passionate and humorous, this lively memoir journeys from Jim Sharman's colorful childhood in his father's boxing troupe to his travels through Berlin, London, Sydney, and Tokyo, via the international successes of The Rocky Horror Picture Show , Hair , and Jesus Christ Superstar . This dynamic chronicle reveals behind-the-scenes details from the performances, recounts conversations with Lou Reed, and describes a fateful meeting with author Patrick White. From the rough and ready world of outback Australia in the 1950s--where boxers and "pantomime dames" shared the stage--to the cultural explosion of the 1970s and beyond, this is more than just a remarkable story about Australia; it is a moving tribute to a legendary family in the entertainment world.

In Blood and Tinsel Sharman wonderfully evokes this world of the sideshow alley, the smell of linseed oil and farm animal shit at agricultural shows, the bluff, blokey universe of boxing with its blood, sweat and brutal urgency, all choreographed to the beating of a bass drum. --Australian Literary Review|9780522853773|, In Blood and Tinsel Sharman wonderfully evokes this world of the sideshow alley, the smell of linseed oil and farm animal shit at agricultural shows, the bluff, blokey universe of boxing with its blood, sweat and brutal urgency, all choreographed to the beating of a bass drum. —Australian Literary Review|9780522853773|, In Blood and Tinsel Sharman wonderfully evokes this world of the sideshow alley, the smell of linseed oil and farm animal shit at agricultural shows, the bluff, blokey universe of boxing with its blood, sweat and brutal urgency, all choreographed to the beating of a bass drum. --Australian Literary Review|9780522853773|, "Jim Sharman is one of Australia's visionary greats: low-brow, high-brow, pop yet classical, fearless and fun." --Baz Luhrmann, "Jim Sharman is one of Australia's visionary greats: low-brow, high-brow, pop yet classical, fearless and fun." —Baz Luhrmann, "Blood & Tinsel is a stunning self-portrait-lyrical, wry, smart and uncompromising-of one of the most daring Australian directors.

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
