From the bestselling author of Love Is a Mix Tape and Turn Around
Bright Eyes, "a funny, insightful look at the sublime torture of
adolescence."--Entertainment Weekly
The 1980s meant MTV and John Hughes movies, big dreams and bigger
shoulder pads, and millions of teen girls who nursed crushes on the
members of Duran Duran. As a solitary teenager stranded in the suburbs,
Rob Sheffield had a lot to learn about women, love, music, and himself.
And he was sure his radio had all the answers.
As evidenced by the bestselling sales of Sheffield's first book, Love
Is a Mix Tape, the connection between music and memory strikes a chord
with readers. Talking to Girls About Duran Duran strikes that chord
all over again, and is a pitch-perfect trip through '80s music-from
Bowie to Bobby Brown, from hair metal to hip-hop. But this book is not
just about music. It's about growing up and how every song is a snapshot
of a moment that you'll remember the rest of your life.
