Frank Sinatra forever altered American art and culture. His life and work is mythified in countless books and essays. Artists from all varieties of media have used Sinatra to create their own works and, in many cases, their own Sinantras. Sinatra's legacy is not confined to the music he created - his shadow, his aura, his mere existence helped to inform the lives and works of generations. Gigliotti examines how genre and literary fiction, lyric and satiric poetry, rock and folk music and even domestic drama have conjured and symbolically employed the legendary singer. Each of the chapters details a defferent use of Sinatra. Subjects include the lyrics of Sammy Cahn, contemporary novels such as "The Death of Frank Sinatra" and the many songs that are about or mention Old Blue Eyes. Gigliotti also examines Sinatra as seen through international eyes, from British songwriters and Spanish novelists, to American expatriates and Israeli filmmakers.
