Girl in a Band: A Memoir de Kim Gordon
Title says it all. The modest lead singer for the 90’s band Sonic Youth has written a doggedly down-to-earth narrative of how she fell in with the stereotypical art school crowd (like The Beatles, as she reminds us) and met husband-to-be and guitarist Thurston Moore in the East Village.

froxgirl | outras 20 resenhas | Feb 22, 2023 | Autobiography that starts with the break-up of both her marriage and the band she was an integral part of for 30 years before retreating to events of her childhood and growing up and on to the rest of the story of her life. Plenty of name-dropping with collaborations both in her artwork and her music but the narrative is fairly devoid of emotion. I think I was just hoping for a little more.

An interesting book, well written and felt very personal, but it also felt like a book that was written as therapy for the author.
