Beschreibung
"As an only child reeling from the demolition of her parents toxic marriage, the New York City underground music scene offers a young Ali a different family of misfits and talented outsiders to belong to. She becomes the bass player for edgy band Speedball Baby, a decision that will take her around the world--from onstage at the legendary CBGBs to the red-light district of Amsterdam. She's often the only girl in a broken-down tour van, being strip-searched at the Croatian border, chased by lunatics, and navigating the seedy underbelly of a male-dominated music scene full of addiction, violence, and misogyny--all while keeping her sharp wit and dark humor intact."--

Über den Autor

The vibrant style Ali Smith has brought to her writing and photography--featured regularly in the New York Times, The Guardian, and other publications internationally--was forged in New York's underground music scene where she played bass in the seminal punk / blues / avant-garde band Speedball Baby. After touring worldwide and recording nine albums, Ali released two books of photography about women's lives. The first, Laws of the Bandit Queens, led to a feature on OWN, Oprah Winfrey's television network. The second, Momma Love: How the Mother Half Lives, won a Silver IPPY and an International Book Awards prize, was praised by the New York Times, and Gloria Steinem called it "a gift to moms." With a passion for telling women's stories, Ali's memoir, The Ballad of Speedball Baby, is her literary debut. Learn more at [...] and [...] on Instagram.
