Kander was working on his PhD in music, and the Goldman brothers wrote the libretto for his dissertation. Kander was the composer of more than a dozen musicals, including Cabaret and Chicago, and all three of them eventually won Academy Awards. [8] On 25 June 1956, Goldman began writing his first novel The Temple of Gold, completing it in less than three weeks. [10] He sent the manuscript to agent Joe McCrindle, who agreed to represent him; McCrindle submitted the novel to Knopf, who agreed to publish it if he doubled the length. It sold well enough in paperback to launch Goldman on his career. [11] He wrote his second novel Your Turn to Curtsy, My Turn to Bow (1958) in a little more than a week. It was followed by Soldier in the Rain (1960) , based on Goldman's time in the military. It sold well in paperback and was turned into a film, though Goldman had no involvement in the screenplay."
