Music writing
So there’s a good reason for the cosmic musical pairing going down this week in Bryant Park, NYC: to commemorate the publication of this anthology! Peter Terzian’s collection Heavy Rotation: Twenty Writers On The Albums That Changed Their Lives features essays by both John Jeremiah Sullivan and James Wood.
Sullivan on Levi Johnston
John Grammer just sent a link to (nonfiction professor) John Jeremiah Sullivan’s latest piece in GQ…
which achieves what I’d have thought impossible: a thoughtful, funny, sympathetic, even poignant profile of Levi Johnston, the rejected unwed hockey-playing bear-hunting father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild.
Sullivan on the Blues
Jason Kelley sent me a link to (non-fiction professor) John Jeremiah Sullivan’s latest book review in the November 08 Harper’s (subscription required). While searching for a free version of the piece, I found more on Sullivan’s interest in the blues (sort of an interview about a review of the texts which are themselves grappling with the music). All of which makes the blues seem even more intriguing… I mean, you could never get this much mileage out of, say, the new Guns n Roses. Though I would welcome the attempt.
