Über diesen Titel
Nobody Broke Your Heart is a tender, nuanced narrative of Elliott Smith, one of the most influential and tragic musicians of the 1990s, whose records are deeply beloved to this day, written by New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker–published author Jamie Fisher.
Starting with his childhood in Texas, following him through his making as an artist in Portland and New York, and reckoning honestly with his unmaking in Los Angeles, Fisher has used never-before-seen archival evidence (unheard recordings, draft lyrics, photos, and correspondence) alongside extensive interviews with friends, family, girlfriends, and collaborators to shed light on the real Elliott Smith, in all his complexity.
Vividly animating Elliott's world and analyzing his work and legacy in loving depth, Nobody Broke Your Heart is an essential book for anyone who loves Elliott Smith and his music—and anyone who’s loved someone grappling with addiction and mental illness.
Kritikerstimmen
"Readers of this book will be left with the impression of a poet who spent his short life in a state of disheveled sweetness, rapturous silliness, and inexhaustible pain. The bighearted biography that Smith and his acolytes deserve." —Kirkus
"A beautiful, deeply felt inquiry into the life and work of one of pop music’s last great enigmas. Nobody Broke Your Heart goes beyond biography and instead becomes a search for the soul of Elliott Smith. Jamie Fisher has delivered a fully dimensional, psychologically revealing portrait that brings new meaning to the man and the artist." —Bob Mehr, New York Times bestselling author, Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements
"Informed and animated by the same radical tenderness that drove its subject, Nobody Broke Your Heart is brutal and beautiful, the best biography I have read in years. Jamie Fisher's encyclopedic knowledge of Elliott's influences, earliest musical ventures, and childhood are set against the difficulties of his later life and tragic death, a tapestry in which Elliott's siblings, parents, best friends, band mates and lovers become characters as vital as Smith himself... For decades I've wondered how Elliott Smith managed to distill so much pain into so much beauty; now, I'm asking the same question about Jamie Fisher's Nobody Broke Your Heart." —Emily Van Duyne, author of Loving Sylvia Plath: A Reclamation
“It's tough to overstate the influence of Elliott Smith's yearning, tender folk songs on the last several decades of American music, and he deserves a biography as good as this one. Jamie Fisher is a painstaking reporter and a deeply thoughtful writer; Nobody Broke Your Heart gives shape to Smith's devastations and his triumphs, making sense of a life that was equal parts tragic and extraordinary.” —Amanda Petrusich, author of It Still Moves and the Search for the Next American Music
