In this stunning memoir, Rob Sheffield, a veteran rock and pop
culture critic and staff writer for Rolling Stone magazine, tells
the story of his musical coming of age, and how rock music, the
first love of his life, led him to his second, a girl named Renee.
Rob and Renee's life together - they wed after graduate school,
both became music journalists, and were married only five years
when Renee died suddenly on Mother's Day, 1997 - is shared through
the window of the mix tapes they obsessively compiled. There are
mixes to court each other, mixes for road trips, mixes for doing
the dishes, mixes for sleeping - and, eventually, mixes to mourn
Rob's greatest loss. The tunes were among the great musical output
of the early 1990s - Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Pavement, Yo La Tengo,
REM, Weezer - as well as classics by The Rolling Stones, The
Beatles, Aretha Franklin and more. Mixing the skilful, tragic punch
of Dave Eggers and the romantic honesty of Nick Hornby, LOVE IS A
MIX TAPE is a story of lost love and the kick-you-in-the-gut energy
of great pop music.
