Sara Marcus, reading from Girls to the Front
GIRLS TO THE FRONT, the first-ever history of Riot Grrrl, is a lyrical, punk-infused narrative about a group of pissed-off girls with no patience for sexism and no intention of keeping quiet. A dynamic chronicle not just of a movement but of an era, this is the story of a time when America thought feminism was dead, but a generation of noisy girls rose up to prove everybody wrong.
Rob Sheffield, reading from Talking to Girls About Duran Duran
From Bowie to Bobby Brown, from hair metal to hip-hop, he loved them all. Talking to Girls About Duran Duran is a journey through pop culture of an American adolescence that will remind you of your first crush, first car, and first kiss. It’s a book about moments in time, where every song is a snapshot of a moment that helps form the rest of your life. Whenever you grew up, and whatever your teenage obsessions, Talking to Girls About Duran Duran brings those moments to life.
