<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A collection of fictional but semi-autobiographical stories, this work comes from one of the most influential guitarists in music history. The tales are recalled in a conversational, feverish tone, following the musician in his childhood and young adulthood in post-World War II suburbia, pausing along the way for moments of clarity and introspection. The stories resist categorization--part memoir, part personal essay, part fiction, and part manifesto they simply stand alone, having their own logic, religious dogma, and mythological history.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>"Fahey's writing flickers with the same black humor and ambivalent mysticism that imbues his music." --Bill Meyer, music critic, </i> Chicago Reader</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>John Fahey</b></b> pioneered the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument and was a highly influential fingerstyle guitarist, serving as a model for guitarists ranging from Leo Kottke to Thurston Moore.
