Captured on August 3 2010, One Day in the Life of Rufus Wainwright finds Rufus in his bed at his New York City apartment. Starting with coffee, we see Rufus start his day by playing piano (in his underwear no less) dashing off to Boston via train, where he connects with his sister Martha and her son Archangelo. We follow through sound check, a pre-show meal, more piano practice and preparing for the stage. The book then bursts into gorgeous color images as Rufus takes to the stage of  Boston’s famed Opera House and dazzles the crowd with his performance of “All Days are Nights, Songs for Lulu” as a song cycle – featuring haunting films projected behind him by artist Douglas Gordon. A quick break, then back to the stage where Rufus performs a selection of his favorite songs. The book then returns us to the black and white world: a post show autograph session, visitors in the dressing room, and finally back to bed on the tour bus – ready to sleep and dream and be carried to the next city . This book is a must have for any fan of Rufus Wainwright, with beautiful text by Rufus himself, as well as an introduction by Cherry Vanilla
