Synopsis
In Waiting For The Man, Jeremy Reed focuses on Lou Reed as rock's principal literary avatar, paying special attention to his controversial lyrics and prototypical garage sound. Lou Reed influenced generations of copyists that took note of his outlaw status, ambiguous sexual orientation characterised by his seventies relationship with the transvestite Rachel, his implacable mystique, cool and defiant attitude as the narrator of subcultures. Finally the book examines the transcendent, if reluctant calm, that Reed arrived at in later life. Taking in the sweep of Reed's career from Velvet Underground to the variants of forty years of resistant solo pioneering, Waiting For The Man accesses the man and his music, with the extraordinary perception and attention to detail.

About the Author
Jeremy Reed is an award-winning poet, novelist and counterculture biographer, who has published over 30 books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. He performs with the Ginger Light, unique in their genre as pioneers of spoken word and music. Amongst his recent publications are Piccadilly Bongo, a collection of poetry enhanced by a CD of Marc Almond Soho songs, his biography of the sixties fashion designer John Stephen King of Carnaby Street, a novel Here Comes The Nice, and upcoming The Dilly, A Secret History of Piccadilly Rent Boys and a collection of poems Sooner Or Later Frank. He has been called by Pete Doherty "a legend, what more can you ask?" by J.G. Ballard "the most original poet writing today" and by Bjork "the most beautiful outrageous poet in the world."

Waiting for the Man: The Life & Career of Lou Reed
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
