Kristin Hersh Has a New Book and Book/Performance Tour
Kristin Hersh is set to release her second book next month. Don't Suck, Don't Die: Giving Up Vic Chesnutt is a memoir and tribute to her tour mate and close friend Vic Chesnutt, who took his own life in 2009. Her previous book, Rat Girl , is simply one of the best rock memoirs ever written. Hersh goes into incredibly personal aspects of her life with such a powerful intensity in Rat Girl , which makes Don't Suck, Don't Die one of my most anticipated books in a slew of rock memoirs coming out in the next year. She's also going on a book/performance tour in the fall. Jeff and I were both lucky enough to catch one of her Paradoxical Undressing shows which combined readings from Rat Girl and live solo performances. If that's any indication, you won't want to miss her upcoming book tour. Don't Suck, Don't Die: Giving Up Vic Chesnutt is due out October 1 on The University of Texas Press.
