Painful in Daily Doses

An anecdotal memoir

Anthony Steel

In this engaging memoir Anthony Steel tells his story, from growing up in a wealthy steel manufacturing family - the Steels of Sheffield - where music was a fundamental part of daily life, to his triumphant staging of Adelaide's 1986 Festival of Arts, and his stewardship of other important artistic enterprises in Australia and elsewhere.

  • 'Painful in Daily Doses is a cosmopolitan, picaresque romp of a book replete with the requisite ingredients: food, drink, sex, a life on the road and in the air, heroes and villains, epic travel, dead-ends, sackings and successes - fate largely dealing the man a very good hand. And it's often funny. Above all it celebrates the art that Steel has resolutely and passionately championed, broadening and deepening Australian engagement through bold programming, commissioning and sheer force of personality.' - Keith Gallasch, RealTime
