Highly Recommend. On rock and roll: It inspires boys to reinvent themselves as flaming new creatures and to seek detumescence without ruth.

Ashley Poston made her name with Once Upon a Con, a contemporary series set in the world of fandom, and her two-part space opera, Heart of Other Popular Editions of the Same Title. Special appearances by Elvis and creative profanity. A wonderfully dramatic spiral of drunken abuse, fire and fury. Those girls didn't even know your name. Add to Wishlist. And the book itself was as much about the demons of rock'n'roll and the demons of the soul as it was about the unique man in whom they wrought their dark magic. Details if other :.

Uh-oh, it looks like your Internet Explorer is out of date. Poetic but strange detailed and engaging. Tosches, who knows a thing or two about self-destruction, upped his style to meet the challenge head-on, and his book has a momentum and mythic quality rare in rock writing. He even shared Elvis's pharmacist, the legendary Dr George Nichopoulos, who once attested that Jerry Lee took eight to 10 capsules of amphetamine before every show.

I may have been willing to give this three stars, but about two-thirds of the way through, Tosches seems to abandon his style and prose and hurries most of JLL's Tosches is unquestionably a great writer, but I find myself a detractor on this one.

Born in Louisiana to a family legacy of great courage and greater wildness, Jerry Lee was torn throughout his life between a demanding Pentecostal God and the Devil of alcohol, drugs, and the boogie-woogie piano. Nov 24, Joy rated it really liked it. Nick Tosches's electrifying account chronicles the monumental highs and lows of the ever indomitable and ever wild Jerry Lee, who rises to dizzying heights as a rock 'n' roll icon, only to lose it time and time again to his inner demons. You knew that kid. Just another one out of the way. OMM: Did you approach Lewis himself about contributing? Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. In the God-fearing, demon-stalked figure of Jerry Lee LewisTosches found the perfect character to match his grand, semi-fictional style. This book transfixed me Entertaining enough but I feel like the author never really got inside Lewis head. Apr 17, Krokki rated it really liked it. The problem with all this? Builds more of an impression than a traditional biography. Head up his ass or not, he manages to make Jerry Lee Lewis's life the southern gothic novel you didn't know you needed. OMM: Did you ever hear any reaction from him after the fact? Tosches's real masterstroke is counterposing Jerry Lee's cousin Jimmy Lee Swaggart with him throughout the boo Nick Tosches has an unfortunate tendency to fall into tough guy bullshit or so that I can tell from reading up on his other excerpts. There was something about this book that seemed a little too contrived for me. Shallow life, shallow ditch. A little harsh? Almost immediately, news of his marriage to his thirteen- year-old cousin all but destroyed his career. They took it all, drank it all, shagged it all, tore it all down and lived to a remarkable old age! Over the next twenty years, Jerry Lee would Hellfire The Jerry Lee Lewis Story 1st edition again as a country star, and lose it all to his Hellfire The Jerry Lee Lewis Story 1st edition to alcohol, drugs, and his own fame. Rather than a simple retelling Hellfire The Jerry Lee Lewis Story 1st edition events, Tosches embellishes events and anecdotes with a sense of drama and foreboding. Full of the devil, a bad influence, going to hell with his boots on. This is my wife, says Jerry. JLL is a musical favorite of mine, and Hellfire has a reputation for being a definitive early biography. Plus, as mentioned, this book is written by one of my all time favorite writers who may very well become one of yours also. Where did the book first take place? I can attest to my complete surrender to the magic of Tosches. How old are you?? That lasted a few years before he upended everything a second time. Nick Tosches was an American journalist, novelist, biographer, and poet. I wish he would update it ISBN 13: 9780141030753 Having read the story of Jerry Lee Lewis I have a new respect for the durability of the human body. I know what I am. Rather than a simple retelling of events, Tosches embellishes events and anecdotes with a sense of drama and foreboding. A portrait of singer Jerry Lee Lewis details his early life, music, controversial marriage, problems and decline, endurance, and revival in popularity. Mar 09, Nc Hegarty rated it liked it. Hellfire by Nick Tosches Avalon, originally publishedout of print When it was first published, Nick Tosches's Hellfire was hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as 'the best rock and roll biography'. End of days! Tosches equips a stunning Southern Gothic style to the prose of Jerry Lee's life, the result winds up as a tragedy that would make Faulkner jealous and give Cormac McCarthy Jerry Lee Lewis, if this book is anything to go off of, was one vile, pigheaded, drunken son of a Hellfire The Jerry Lee Lewis Story 1st edition. Apr 17, Daryl rated it really liked it. The other thing was that every so often Nick Tosches suddenly drops into this weird, outrageous manner of phraseology which just has to be quoted to be believed : On marital discord: She caressed Jerry Lee and soon told him she was pregnant. Books by Nick Tosches. Those are the languages in which the book was written: King James and Faulkner. Part of me wanted it to be 9, pages long, but that might've taken away from its sleek, almost singular perfection. Dec 03, Bob rated it really liked it. He deserves to be read by anyone who appreciates masterful wordsmithing and writing that simply leaves one Hellfire The Jerry Lee Lewis Story 1st edition and aching. NT: There had been only a few rock biographies at that point, and most weren't really books. I've never read a biography like this before. He got his start alongside peers like Lester Bangs and Richard Meltzer as part of the first wave of "rock journalists" in the s, with his biography of Jerry Lee Lewis, Hellfirecalled by Rolling Stone "the greatest rock bio of all time" although granted, that was 38 years ago, and they were his boss at the time ; then as he progressed into middle-age and beyond, he started outputting a series of deliberately provocative novels as well, most of them metafictional tales in which the protagonist is a writer remarkably similar to Tosches but who finds himself in a series of dark Hellfire The Jerry Lee Lewis Story 1st edition ventures including making a deal with Satan, becoming a vampire to regain his youth, and morealong with such outre nonfiction assignments for Esquire as traveling through the rural wilderness of southeast Asia to see whether any honest-to-God opium dens still exist in the 21st century.

If by popular music you mean domestic palliatives from “Home Sweet to Celine Dion, OK, that’s another realm.

  • Mort De Nick Tosches, L'écrivain Qui Fit Du Rock'n'roll Un Roman
    CULTURE • DISPARITIONS Mort de Nick Tosches, l’écrivain qui ft du rock’n’roll un roman Auteur de biographies, de polars et d’articles dans des revues musicales américaines, il a décrit sur un mode impertinent et déjanté le monde du rock des années 1960 et 1970. Il est mort le 20 octobre, à l’âge de 69 ans. Par Bruno Lesprit • Publié hier à 14h03, mis à jour hier à 15h46 Article réservé aux abonnés Nick Tosches à New York, en 2000. Philippe DOLLO/Opale/Leemage Grâce à lui et quelques autres francs-tireurs – Lester Bangs, Greil Marcus, Richard Meltzer… – , l’écriture rock acquit ses lettres de noblesse. L’écrivain américain Nick Tosches est mort le 20 octobre, à l’âge de 69 ans, à New York, ou plutôt, comme il l’écrit sur son site, « la ville qui était autrefois New York ». Seul pionnier de la « rock critic » avec le Britannique Nik Cohn à s’être métamorphosé en romancier reconnu, il ft une entrée fracassante en littérature en 1982 avec Hellfre (éd. Allia, 2001), une biographie de Jerry Lee Lewis aussi enfammée que le piano de son héros. Pleine de rock’n’roll et de fureur, sur fond de dramaturgie sudiste et de religion, elle trouva en efet le plus court chemin entre les cavalcades de Whole Lotta Shake Goin’On et le monde éteint de William Faulkner – rappelons que Jerry Lee Lewis, à 22 ans, épousa en 1957 sa cousine germaine Myra Gale Brown, de neuf ans sa cadette. A 84 ans, Jerry Lee Lewis survit donc à son biographe, ce que Nick Tosches avait pressenti en indiquant que le blond à mèche rebelle avait signé un pacte faustien.

  • Nick Tosches, Le Parrain De La Critique Rock Est Mort L’Obs / Elisabeth Philippe / 21 Octobre 2019
    Nick Tosches, le parrain de la critique rock est mort L’Obs / Elisabeth Philippe / 21 octobre 2019 L’auteur culte de « Hellfire » et des « Confessions d’un chasseur d’opium » est mort chez lui, à Manhattan. Il avait 69 ans. Nick Tosches, historien du rock et écrivain, mort le 20 octobre 2019 (Capture d'écran / Allia) Il avait réservé sa dernière danse pour Satan. Depuis hier, dimanche 20 octobre, on espère que Nick Tosches se déhanche en faisant crisser ses mocassins léopard sur les parquets enflammés de l’Enfer, cet Enfer que le critique rock et écrivain américain, auteur de « Dans la main de Dante », avait fréquenté de près, avant même d’avoir franchi le Styx. Tosches est donc mort, chez lui, à Manhattan, « dans ce qui fut New York », pour reprendre la formule de la brève notice biographique figurant sur son ultime roman. Il avait 69 ans. Lui avait prévu qu’il passerait de l’autre côté en 2012, l’année où il publiait « Moi et le Diable » (Albin Michel). Il aura eu sept ans de rab. Peut-être le fruit d’un énième pacte faustien. Ainsi naquit la critique rock Cela lui aura laissé le temps d’écrire son dernire livre, « Sous Tibère » (Albin Michel, 2015), l’histoire revue et corrigée de Jésus. Sujet qui, à première vue, pourrait paraître étonnant et détonnant pour un biographe de Jerry Lee Lewis et Dean Martin. Sauf que Nick Tosches était un journaliste rock à l’ancienne, autodidacte, d’une érudition tous azimuts, autant poète qu’historien, incollable sur la mafia, les drogues et les vers des Grecs anciens.
