"One of the best books ever written by a contemporary artist."--Pete Townshend. "[Everett is] the Kurt Vonnegut of the rock world."--Rolling Stone. "Growing up in the Virginia suburbs, Mark Oliver Everett had an Ice Storm-like existence, left to roam unsupervised with his sister, Liz, while his mother combated depression and his father, the eccentric and brilliant quantum physicist Hugh Everett, remained distant and obsessed by parallel universes of his own creation. First, the author lost his father to heart failure, and then--in a staggeringly short period of time--his sister to schizophrenia and suicide and his mother to cancer. The author drew upon the relentless tragedies in his life for inspiration in writing highly acclaimed music with his indie rock group, EELS. Yet this is much more than a musician's tale. A true gem of a memoir, Everett's story is a rich and poignant narrative on coming of age, love, death, and the creative vision." [publisher copy] "You trust every word coming off the tips of Everett's fingers. His book is a subtle, touching thing."--Sunday Times. "I kept telling myself, 'This guy is the next Kurt Vonnegut!' THINGS THE GRANDCHILDREN SHOULD KNOW shares less with a rock memoir than it does with the likes of The Corrections, Middlesex, and The Ice Storm. It's unexpectedly uplifting."--The Word. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, no jacket as issued.
