SONIC LIFE By Thurston Moore
From the founding member of Sonic Youth, a passionate memoir tracing the author’s life and art — from his teen years as a music obsessive in small-town Connecticut, to the formation of his legendary rock group, to thirty years of creation, experimentation, and wonder. As Leah Greenblatt says, “ Think about preordering the upcoming memoir “Sonic Life,” by Thurston Moore, the rangy guitarist and alt-culture raconteur who co-founded the noise gods Sonic Youth? Literary fans like Colson Whitehead and Jonathan Lethem have already come out to praise the offhand wit and textured grit of Moore’s glimpse into a vanished world of analog art-stardom, from late-’70s happenings in the South Bronx with Jenny Holzer to touring Europe in the early ’90s with a ragtag trio of pre-“Smells Like Teen Spirit” misfits called Nirvana.” Doubleday published the hardcover October 24, 2023.
