It is not my intention to write a biography of Jorge Bolet, but I thought I would have a go at one chapter on his early years (1914-1927), especially as the material is rather scattered on this website, and confusing, too. This has enabled me to make connections with things I know now about his later life when I see what I have written on the page. Comments, corrections and additions are most welcome.
UPDATE!
When I say the material is rather scattered and confusing, I mean exactly that. I spotted that I claimed Jorge's father died in 1935 - yet he was apparently alive and well in 1944, during an interview with Jorge about him, becoming an American citizen. I may have mistranslated the Spanish (I haven't seen the article again since 2009, and the "Antonio" might refer to Jorge's eldest brother, not his father, but anyway, beware....
Update - The Japan Years 1946, 1976, 1988:
