Book Review


Fine and Dandy: The Life and Work of Kay Swift. By Vicki Ohl. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004. ISBN 0-300-10261-5 (cloth). Pp. vii, 294. $30.00.

Composer, novelist, and lyricist Katharine “Kay” Swift (1897–1993) is perhaps best known today for her professional and personal relationships with George Gershwin. However, as Vicki Ohl illustrates in her comprehensive study Fine and Dandy: The Life and Work of Kay Swift, Swift is also worth examining as a composer and personality in her own right.
