Rachel Goodman Edelson in Conversation With Susan Moon

Rachel Goodman Edelson’s unpublished memoir Dreamswing, recounts the two main stages of her life: first, extricating herself from the complicated tango she danced with her father, Benny Goodman, as a talented classical pianist who accompanied him at venues like Carnegie Hall and Oakland’s Paramount theater – a life as conflicted as it was glamorous – and then finding her true nature while learning to swing in her own way as a writer and English professor. Dr. Edelson has long been drawn to the inner dimensions of life ignored by American culture. As a college professor, she has taught her students to question superficial values and to examine the benefits of an outsider stance. At 75 she earned her doctorate at the California Institute of Integral Studies in a program that validated her creative approach to learning. She was awarded Teacher of the Year by the Department of Psychiatry at UC Davis. At 81, she is continuing her work as a teacher and mentor.
