I started the audiobook (read by Thurston) on Monday and finished it today (being Thursday), I found it delightful. I will be picking up the paperback so I can refer back to the sections on the no wave scene and 80s underground where Thurston lists previously unknown-to-me bands as being on a par with the more commonly referenced bands of those eras.
I thought the end was quite sad when he mentioned the part about Harold's death, it made me wonder if Thurston knew Harold was going to die and if they'd ever reconciled after their falling out in the 80s.
I also wondered why he glossed over the years from about 95, and especially from 2000 to 2011, I guess the excitement and stimulation couldn't last forever. After the rich descriptions of life up until then I found the shift quite jarring, and also quite sad.
