Synopsis "You'd think nothing would live up to this title, but the book, being more generous as well as witty, more than tops it...incandescent. The New Yorker It's 1975. Bud Salem, 18-years-old, is fleeing his mother's TV church and meets a woman pitching oranges in the Mojave. She's Sylvia Cushman, a 45-year-old housewife, who loves driving alone through the desert. They odyssey through western motels and Apache gas stations where Sylvia gives long lectures about Emily Dickinson and drags Bud up into the mesas to search for petroglyphs. After sharing adventures in Detroit, New York, and Amherst, the travelers part... In many ways Let the Dog Drive is an askew detective novel— when a character dies under strange circumstances in Texas, Bud goes to the panhandle to uncover what happened. His strange narration does contain pleasures of the genre: a shootout inside an aquarium; a faked death; another shootout on a chicken farm in Texas...But Let the Dog Drive is also a freewheeling merging of many other genres and concerns-- Hollywood, hardboiled novels of the 1930s, Emily Dickinson's white dress, hallucinatory cacti, The Book of Luke...And dogs.

Bowman, David This Must Be the Place: The Adventures of Talking Heads in the Twentieth Century
New York, New York, U.S.A. HarperEntertainment 2001 0380978466 / 9780380978465 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First Edition. Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 406 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Few rock bands have pursued such an idiosyncratic path or possessed such uncompromising brilliance as Talking Heads. The group's garage-band genesis, art-school background, witty invention, and musical unorthodoxy produced exhilarating albums, videos, and one of the greatest live rock-band films of all time, Stop Making Sense. As Talking Heads gained in popularity, David Byrne became the prototypical "cool nerd," pushing them into new creative areas, eventually collaborating with Brian Eno, incorporating African polyrhythms and "found" voices into their songs. Behind the scenes, though, the band's success was marred by a deep schism between Byrne and the only female member of the band, Tina Weymouth. Full of rich drama and colorful characters, and based on new interviews including all four original members, This Must Be the Place showcases one of the best and most influential rock bands of our time and their odyssey through a volatile period of American cultural history. About the Author: David Bowman, author of two novels, Let the Dog Drive and Bunny Modern, had written about music of the New York Times Magazine, Spin, Talk, and Salon. He lives with his wife in New York City.
