Lou Reed: A Life by Anthony DeCurtis

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.5

This was pretty interesting but I felt like it was really trying to psychoanalyze Lou like how do you know random journalist about whether he felt love for his mom? Or his dad? I feel that complicated relationships like that should not be talked about in an (un-authorized) biography of someone's life. Like just tell me what the man did and how others felt about him without trying to dissect complicated relationships between him and his parents and whether their relationship was Oedipal or not.
