Houdini : art and magic by Brooke Kamin Rapaport
I was expecting a more detailed account of Houdini's, but still this book was adequate. From his humble beginnings as a Jewish immigrant from Hungary to the heights of international stardom, this book manages to portray some of his character.

The Art of William Steig (Jewish Museum) by Claudia J. Nahson
Absolutely enchanting, with a wonderful variety of illustrations representing Steig's prolific output and virtuosic range. About half the book is devoted to his art, and the rest to illuminating essays from his wife of thirty years, one of his daughters, and others who knew him and his work best. My only regret is that I would've loved to go to the exhibition that this book accompanies.

Houdini: Art and Magic by Brooke Kamin Rapaport
This is essentially an exhibition catalogue, so I wasn't expecting an in-depth Houdini biography, which is just as well because this isn't.

What it is, is a series of essays on various aspects of Houdini's life and legacy, very well illustrated with many photographs, lobby cards and theatre posters which I (at least) haven't seen before.

The essays The Immigrant World of Harry Houdini, describing his status as a symbol of liberation and social mobility for immigrants to the United States, Houdini, the Rabbi's Son examining his relationship to his Jewish faith, were particularly good.

What loses this book a star (and-a-half) from my rating are the essay about, and the interviews with, contemporary artists, which I found pretentious. This is probably due to my own ignorance of contemporary art and lack of exposure to the language used when discussing it, but there we are. It's also possibly a little unfair, given the title of the book puts Art before Magic. Anyway, I would have preferred a greater focus on the development of Houdini's image and self-mythologising through contemporary theatre posters (which are quite well represented in the illustrations, if not sufficiently discussed), magazine articles and newspaper stories.

Despite these reservations, this is still a fascinating book and certainly one that I will return to.
