In 2009, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humour & originality found in his songs.
Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers & dreamers, parents & children, lovers & loners, artists, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock & roll.
Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force & sweep. Like many of his songs (' Thunder Road', ' Badlands', ' Darkness on the Edge of Town', ' The River', ' Born in the U.S.A.', ' The Rising', & ' The Ghost of Tom Joad', to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter & the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.
This hardback book has 528 pages & measures: 24 x 16 x 3.5cm
