Leftover People: a Journey Through Post-rock & Roll America 1. Ausgabe

Leftover People: A Journey Through Post-Rock and Roll America is the latest non-fiction work from rock critic Brent Jensen. It recounts in graphic detail the events that take place during a promotional book tour of the southeastern United States in support of his rock and roll memoir No Sleep 'Til Sudbury. As Jensen comes into personal contact with a colorful assortment of intensely dedicated 80s hard rock and metal fans that make up his readership over the course of the tour, he is forced to consider the deeper implications of his own fandom for the music of his youth through that of his readers. Leftover People balances tales of the tour?s hazy escapades from city to city against a darker subtext illuminating the eternal struggle between the head and the heart, and of living in the moment versus living in the past.
