Quick Book Review: “Lou Reed: A Life” by Anthony DeCurtis
There are many biographies of Lou Reed out there, but people say that this one is the best. (I’ve read one other; I have three more on my bookshelf.) DeCurtis is amazingly comprehensive, chronicling every phase of Lou’s life, personally and musically, with many fascinating and insightful stories. It also goes into detail about Lou’s bisexuality, something other books tend to shy away from or gloss over. I can’t imagine any biography on Lou Reed being better than this one. I couldn’t put it down.
