    • Lou Reed. Život

      • 536 pages
      • 19 hours of reading

      Reedův životopis od Anthonyho DeCurtise vznikal až po Reedově smrti v roce 2013, má tedy oproti starším biografiím jednu velkou výhodu: možnost zachytit celý umělcův život až do smrti. Další nezpochybnitelnou výhodou je autorem přiznané dlouholeté přátelství s Lou Reedem. DeCurtis ve své knize nabízí komplexní pohled na Lou Reeda. Představuje ho jako umělce, ale i jako člověka, a zároveň svým způsobem i jako symbol. Čtenář tak má výtečnou možnost seznámit se s Lou Reedem takovým, jakým skutečně byl. Anebo se tomu alespoň v maximální možné míře přiblížit.
