Peter Guralnick/ Anthology Looking To Get Lost: Adventures In Music And Writing/ Little, Brown
On October 27, Little, Brown will publish Looking To Get Lost: Adventures in Music and Writing, the first book in five years by best-selling and award-winning author Peter Guralnick. Nearly fifty years after the publication of his first anthology of music writing, Guralnick is sharing his most personal collection to date as he pulls back the curtain on the writing process itself, and some of his memorable encounters with music icons like Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, Howlin’ Wolf, Solomon Burke, Merle Haggard, and Dick Curless. A starred Kirkus review calls it “revelatory” while historian Douglas Brinkley has hailed it as “a pulsing jukebox of a memoir and cultural history…a literary masterpiece.”
