The Book Pages columnist Erik Pedersen explores books on bands, Warren Zanes takes the Q&A and PEN America and Penguin Random House fight a book ban.
Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’ haunted Warren Zanes. So he wrote “Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.”
Warren Zanes was a member of Boston’s the Del Fuegos and has released a number of solo albums. He’s wrote the first book in the 33+1/3 series, “Dusty Springfield’s Dusty in Memphis,” and a biography of Tom Petty; he also edited a book about Jimmie Rodgers. Along with work on music documentaries such as “George Harrison: Living in the Material World” and “20 Feet From Stardom,” Zanes has a Ph.D. in Visual and Cultural Studies and teaches at New York University.
Q: Is there a person who made an impact on your reading life – a teacher, a parent, a librarian or someone else? Absolutely. John Biguenet, poet, playwright, novelist, short story writer, teacher. He made me believe that the reward is the practice itself. To have a life that includes writing, and writing at any level: that’s the thing. I feel like he lives this. These days, though, I call him more to ask how to be a man in the world, how to carry on with a broken heart, how to let your kids go into the world, how to become a hockey fan in your fifties, stuff like that. He’s served me in every way.
