The Crystal Ballroom

From Heritage: "This childhood vignette of young Frank appears among the opening images of The Crystal Ballroom, before the dedication and Page 1, as Thorne eases readers into the story with glimpses of his childhood home and early years. The book followed his first illustrated autobiography, Drawing Sexy Women, continuing Thorne's self-portrait through drawing, desire, memory, and the jazz dream that gave the volume its title: playing the Crystal Ballroom with his musical idols."
