Infos

A fiction anthology of 22 stories that celebrate the many sides of rock and roll and its cultural impact. Among the many gems here are Lee K. Abbott's wild portrait of a delusional, megalomaniacal rock star on his comeback; T. Coraghessan Boyle's wryly comic depiction of a recently deceased guitarist trying to find his way to rock and roll heaven; Kathleen Warnock's wistful tale of a schoolteacher in the 1980s who meets the real Elvis; Janice Eidus's hip romance between a fifties doo-wop singer and his high-school sweetheart; Lucinda Ebersole's fine riff on Kafka's Metamorphosis, in which a nineties guy named Sammy wakes up one morning as a Beatle; and Geoffrey Becker's moving story of a road trip taken by a guitar-playing father and his teenage son, a journey on which they learn the real meaning of the blues.
