Original tekst

The Best in Rock Fiction book. Softcover. 270 pages. Published by Hal Leonard. HL.331217. ISBN 0634080288. 6x9 inches. Rock has dominated radio, TV, movies, and even the Internet in our media-savvy lives, but its impact on the literary world has often been overlooked. This collection features today's finest writers, including Sherman Alexie, Madison Smartt Bell, T.C. Boyle, Don DeLillo, Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, Rick Moody, Tom Perrotta, Salman Rushdie, and Scott Spencer, as well as such up-and-coming writers as Tom Piazza and even musicians such as Steve Earle who have turned their talent for lyric writing to spinning a well-told yarn. In these short stories and excerpts from novels, the reader will recognize such familiar rock icons as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. Sherman Alexie's “Reservation Blues” follows the rowdy adventures of an all–Native American rock band from the reservation to New York City. In “Ground Beneath Her Feet,” Salman Rushdie offers a riff on the Orpheus and Eurydice myth in a rock-and-roll setting. Scott Spencer's “Rich Man's Table” focuses on the illegitimate offspring of a Dylan-like singer and a former Greenwich Village hippie. At times raucous, at times poignant, the stories in this collection celebrate in their own way the timeless spirit that is the heart of rock and roll.

The Best in Rock Fiction bog. Softcover. 270 sider. Udgivet af Hal Leonard. HL.331217. ISBN 0634080288. 6x9 inches. Rock har domineret radio, TV, film og selv internettet i vores medier-kyndige liv, men dens indvirkning på den litterære verden er ofte blevet overset. Denne samling funktioner nutidens fineste forfattere, herunder Sherman Alexie, Madison Smartt Bell, TC Boyle, Don DeLillo, Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, Rick Moody, Tom Perrotta, Salman Rushdie, og Scott Spencer samt sådanne up-and-coming forfattere som Tom Piazza og endda musikere som Steve Earle, der har vendt deres talent for lyrisk skriftligt til spinning et godt fortalt garn. I disse noveller og uddrag fra romaner, vil læseren anerkende sådanne velkendte rock-ikoner som Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bob Dylan, og Bruce Springsteen. Sherman Alexie er "Reservation Blues" følger rowdy eventyr af en all-indiansk rockband fra reservation til New York. I "Ground Beneath hendes fødder", Salman Rushdie tilbyder en riff på Orfeus og Eurydike myte i en rock-and-roll indstilling. Scott Spencers "riges bord" fokuserer på den uægte afkom af en Dylan-lignende sanger og tidligere Greenwich Village hippie. Til tider hæs, til tider gribende, historierne i denne samling fejre på deres egen måde den tidløse ånd, der er kernen i rock and roll.
