R. Eric Gustafson has spent his life in the company of art, artists, and the unexpected. Born in the Bronx in 1935, he studied theater at Carnegie Mellon before beginning his career at Parke-Bernet Galleries, advising legendary clients from Greta Garbo to Jacqueline Kennedy. His curatorial work in New York, Santa Fe, and Italy produced landmark theatre design exhibitions. Museums and universities on both sides of the Atlantic sought his eye. As founding director of the Apollo Muses Center for the Arts, he created a vibrant haven where celebrated performers and emerging talents met on equal footing. His books-ranging from memoir to travel writing to cultural history-include Cinderella Is a Man, Last Guy Waltzing, and Expect the Unexpected. Having made Santa Fe his home, he continues to chronicle the pleasures, paradoxes, and serendipities of a wide-open life.
Critical Acclaim for the Work of R. Eric Gustafson ""This intriguing modern-day Odyssey about a creative, outrageous, and charming knight errant searching for life's meaning takes an extraordinary turn. Cinderella Is A Man is a witty, titillating, extremely well-written story with an inspiring, heart-warming denouement."" - Ruth Warrick, actress ""If life is an opera, then Eric Gustafson hits all the high notes. He designs the sets and costumes, too, and assembles an all-star cast from across the panorama of modern life. He's offering readers one of the best seats in the house. A fascinating memoir by a fascinating man."" -Michael Redmond, music critic ""Eric's experience was a quavering candle in a speeding world that has all too little time or energy for dreams."" - Bruce Whitacre, Theatre Forward ""A lifetime's uncompromising devotion to the arts, threaded with personal insecurity, excess, rehab. And finally, acceptance of a kindly divaship. Courageous and inspiring."" -Valmai Howe Elkins, author of The Dreams of Zoo Animals ""I admire all that you've done to promote art and artists. They are noble efforts and you should be proud of your accomplishments."" -Frederica von Stade, international opera star ""Thanks for your goodwill, friendship, and kind support. I love your personality, wit, and social genius. My best to you always."" -Cyrus Casells, poet ""Cinderella Is A Man is a very personal confirmation of the regenerative power of the arts."" -Celeste Holm, Academy Award-winning actress ""The truly amazing testament to luck, pluck, and greatly-deserved rewards. The pinpoint recall of pin-pricked illusions-unsentimental, smart as a whip-and happily, as well and rightly mastered from the performances of his avowed role model, Mae West, the whip is turned not on self, but on the big cats in the gilded cage. Eric has come through-come out of the cage very much more alive than ever. The big cats can go back to sleep-their roaring is of small interest to us now: we want to see what Eric is going to do next. Bravo!"" - Jimmy McCourt, author Mawrdew Czgowchwz
