Book Talk: Lou Reed, A Life with Anthony DeCurtis

Renowned musician Lou Reed invented alternative rock music, at once a source of transcendent beauty and coruscating noise, speaking to millions of fans and inspiring generations. Music critic Anthony DeCurtis will read from his biography Lou Reed: A Life and reflect on the icon he knew personally and interviewed extensively. The book is an unflinching and balanced look at Reed’s complex life, including plenty of tabloid-ready tales, as well as insight on major moments in his career. DeCurtis tracks Reed’s five-decade career, traveling deep into his defiantly subterranean world. Gritty, intimate, and eloquent, Lou Reed is an illuminating tribute to one of our most incendiary artists.
