The Street Where I Live is a non-fiction work by Alan Jay Lerner.
In it, he describes the genesis of three of his most famous musicals: Gigi, My Fair Lady and Camelot. It is auto-biographical, but not strictly speaking an autobiography as he mentions his seven marriages only briefly, and refers to his other works only in passing.[citation needed] Lerner was generous to his collaborators, except for Stanley Donen, who directed the film version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's story The Little Prince, and treated the music score with what Lerner felt was contempt. Lerner also expresses dissatisfaction with rock music, which he considered "a belch".[citation needed]
The book was dedicated to his secretary.[1]
