Steve Almond

Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life (Random House)

Steve Almond, whose book My Life in Heavy Metal is one of Skylight's all-time bestselling fiction titles, will be here to discuss and sign his new memoir, Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life! "For some of us, music is true religion, and Catholic to boot. Steve Almond comes off as devout -- and divided -- as any altar boy. His strange and funny book should be required reading for all of us fans and musicians who belong to the Church of Rock and Roll." —Aimee Mann Steve Almond is the author of the essay collection (Not that You Asked), the story collections My Life in Heavy Metal and The Evil B.B. Chow, the nonfiction book Candyfreak, and the novel Which Brings Me to You, co-written with Julianna Baggott. He lives outside Boston with his wife and two children, and listens to rock and roll at all hours. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS JUNE 7, 2010.
