Lou Reed: A Life by Anthony DeCurtis

3.0

The beginning and ending of Reed’s life is well recounted here, but during the middle there’s a whole lot of lengthy focus on his studio albums, who played on them, and analyses of lyrics. Most people who reed this are going to be familiar with a chunk of his work, if not all of it; we read biographies to gain insights into the person behind the work, not the work itself.
