Drop the record needle on any vinyl album in your collection, then
read the first pages of that novel you've been meaning to pick
up-the reverberations between them will be impossible to miss.
Since Dylan went electric, listening to rock 'n' roll has often
been a surprisingly literary experience, and contemporary
literature is curiously attuned to the history and beat of popular
music. In The Ink in the Grooves, Florence Dore brings together a
remarkable array of acclaimed novelists, musicians, and music
writers to explore the provocatively creative relationship between
musical and literary inspiration: the vitality that writers draw
from a three-minute blast of guitars and the poetic insights that
musicians find in literary works from Shakespeare to Southern
Gothic. Together, the essays and interviews in The Ink in the
Grooves provide a backstage pass to the creative processes behind
some of the most exciting and influential albums and novels of our
time. Contributors: Laura Cantrell, Michael Chabon, Roddy Doyle,
