HEAR SAMPLE

“[A]n obsessively detailed and compulsively readable biography that is as high-energy and entertaining as its subject.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “[Trynka] deftly walks the line between fan boy and dogged researcher….This is the definitive word on Iggy, elbowing past even his autobiography.” —Library Journal (starred review) “Dufris’s voice is invested with meticulousness, weighing each word carefully and swooping to a near-baritone halt at the close of each sentence. Dufris is the anti-Iggy, polite and modulated, and it is his counterexample that allows the light to shine more brightly on Pop himself.”—Publishers Weekly Iggy Pop’s legendary career has been tumultuous, reaching great heights with mega-hits and then hitting rock-bottom lows in jail and mental institutions. Along the way, he’s become a cult-rock hero, an inspiration for dozens of other famous rockers, and has had a pretty good time of it, too. But the image of Iggy Pop versus the man behind that image, James Newell Osterberg, Jr., is surprisingly contradictory. The “nude and rude” punk rocker was the vice president of his high school class and is considered an intellectual by many. Living in Ann Arbor among Iggy’s childhood friends and pre-fame lovers and interviewing dozens of musicians including Iggy himself, Paul Trynka has created a sincere and fascinating portrayal of the real man behind the rock star.
