Exploring the evolution of American popular music literature, Eric Weisbard examines a wide range of works from diverse authors, including memoirs, biographies, and academic studies. He connects influential figures in music, such as Louis Armstrong and Madonna, to literary voices like Theodore Dreiser and Jennifer Egan. Weisbard highlights how these writings reflect cultural shifts and persistent questions in music, revealing an alternative history shaped by varied perspectives, including those of women, people of color, and queer writers.
