Lou Reed Knihy

Česko-anglické vydání nejznámějších a nejpoetičtějších písňových textů textaře, kytaristy a zpěváka legendární rockové skupiny Velvet Underground.

V roce 2001 se legendární rocker Lou Reed ponořil do pochmurného světa jednoho ze svých duchovních předchůdců, Edgara Allena Poea, aby posléze vytvořil podnětné a originální dílo: POE-Try, cyklus písní, jejichž divadelní podobu později režíroval slavný Robert Wilson. Písně vyšly v roce 2003 na kompaktním dvojdisku pod názvem Raven (Havran). Lou Reeda napadlo vydat texty písní, obohacené ilustracemi, knižně. Vybral si grafika a komiksového kreslíře Lorenza Mattottiho (*1954). Výsledkem je kniha The Raven (Le corbeau), kterou vydalo francouzské nakladatelství Seuil (2010). Obrazový doprovod tvoří expresivní ilustrace, které nezobrazují vnější realitu, ale pocity, duševní stavy, frustrace, jak je pro Mattottiho obvyklé. Zcela určitě zaujmou i silné a neobvyklé barevné kontrasty a deformované tvary lidských těl či předmětů.

'The nature of Lou Reed's lyric writing that had been hitherto unknown in rock ... gave us the environment in which to put our more theatrical vision. He supplied us with the stretch and the landscape, and we peopled it.' - David Bowie

Jinny Buffett is lonely... She's never had the comfort of a white picket fence with a loving family. Her subsidized apartment in Hollywood Florida echoes with the void of her dead Daddy, and the nights drag long into twilight while her Mama works the block outside the Margaritaville resort. It's idealistic Ms. Fleming, who's brave enough to come knocking first. She wants to see Jinny rise up and use her ace scores to escape the wheel of poverty, convincing Jinny to start a school book club, where she finds the friends and boyfriend she never knew she needed. But when her Mama spirals out of control and threatens her entire existence, it's Jinny's Everglade ancestors who arrive in a mist of magic, bringing the swamp and hope with them.

Dumped, broke and stranded at her mother's house, Amy has few options for escape. Hanging out with her ex comes with getting to know his new girlfriend, someone who looks suspiciously like Amy's younger, straighter doppelgänger. Strapped for cash and desperate to be out of her mother's home, she ends up babysitting the UFO-obsessed kids of the hot working mom down the street. Over a dull, torrid summer in the Pennsylvania suburbs, strange lights linger on the horizon, and subterranean connections reach out their tendrils in the dark, signalling another, otherworldly possibility.

After his first book of photographs was published, Lou Reed told a journalist for The Independent on Sunday that "I live on intuition and taking pictures is intuitive." Here, we see Lou Reed's intuitive take on New York, the city that has been the fulcrum of his creative world for decades and with which he has become indelibly identified. We've heard about the streets and characters for so long through his words and music, and now we can see it through his eyes. Over 100 of Reed's photographs comprise New York , an intimate view of what inspires him.

A comprehensive collection showcasing over 30 years of Lou Reed's work, covering his career from the Velvet Underground to classic albums like "Transformer," "Berlin," and "New York," as well as "Magic and Loss" and "Ecstasy."

Er hat in den sechziger Jahren mit Andy Warhol Kunst und Parties gefeiert, in den siebziger Jahren sich mit Iggy Pop und David Bowie in Berlin Drogenexzessen hingegeben und in den Achtzigern für Amnesty International engagiert. Musik gemacht hat er immer. Lou Reed ist einer der größten Rockmusiker überhaupt, eine schillernde Persönlichkeit, der die Zerrissenheit der Epoche in seinem Wesen widerspiegelt. Seine Werke versammeln schwermütige Songs wie »Venus in Furs« und »Sunday Morning« und lakonische, intime Balladen wie »Perfect Day« oder »Coney Island Baby«, aber auch harte Texte, die die raue Wirklichkeit auf den Straßen New Yorks beschreiben. Für »Pass Thru Fire« hat Lou Reed jeden Song selbst graphisch gestaltet. Entstanden ist ein Gesamtkunstwerk, das in den USA längst zum begehrten Sammlerstück wurde.
