Non-Fiction Biography
When Warren Zevon died in 2003, he left behind both a
fanatical cult following and a rich catalog of dark, witty
rock-n-roll classics that includes "Lawyers, Guns, and
Money," "Excitable Boy," and the immortal "Werewolves of
London." He also left a trove of misadventures and
anecdotes, a veritable rock opera of drugs, women,
celebrity, high times, and hard ways. As Warren once said,
"I got to be Jim Morrison a lot longer than he did."
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead is an intimate and
unusual oral history of one of our most original and
distinctive rock-and-roll antiheroes. Narrated by his former
wife and longtime co-conspirator, Crystal Zevon, the book
draws on over eighty interviews with the likes of Bruce
Springsteen, Stephen King, Billy Bob Thornton, Jackson
Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others who came under
his mischievous spell. The result is a raucous and moving
tale of love and obsession, creative genius and epic bad
behavior. Told in the words and images of the friends,
lovers, and legends who knew him best, I'll Sleep When
I'm Dead captures Warren Zevon in all his turbulent
glory.
