Non-Fiction Memoir
How an average musician put aside his "there" guitar and
reinvented himself as Björn Türoque, the take-no-prisoners
future of air guitar.
The true story of how mildly
successful guitarist and New York Times writer Dan
Crane relinquished his instrument and became Björn Türoque
(pronounced "b-yorn too-RAWK"), the second greatest air
guitarist in the nation. This exploration of the
international air guitar sub-culture addresses the issue of
dedicating oneself to an invisible art in order to achieve
the ultimate goal of "airness"-that is, when air guitar
transcends the "real" art that it imitates and becomes an
art form in and of itself.
