Non-Fiction Memoir
When Stewart Copeland gets dressed, he has an identity
crisis. Should he put on "leather pants, hostile shirts, and
pointy shoes"? Or wear something more appropriate to the
"tax-paying, property-owning, investment-holding lotus
eater" his success has allowed him to become? This dilemma
is at the heart of Copeland's vastly entertaining
memoir-in-stories, Strange Things Happen. The world knows
Copeland as the drummer for The Police, one of the most
successful bands in rock history. But they may not know as
much about his childhood in the Middle East as the son of a
CIA agent. Or be aware of his film-making adventures with
the Pygmies in the deepest reaches of the Congo, and his
passion for polo (Brideshead Revisited on horses). In
Strange Things Happen we move from Copeland's remarkable
childhood to the formation of The Police, their rise to
stardom, and the settled-down life that followed. It ends
with a behind-the-scenes view of The Police's
extraordinarily successful reunion tour. It's a book of
amazing anecdotes, all completely true, which take us
backstage in a life that is fully lived.
