Non-Fiction Memoir
Neil Young’s first memoir, Waging Heavy Peace, was an
international bestseller and critical sensation. The Wall
Street Journal wrote that it was “terrific: modest,
honest, funny and frequently moving,” while The New York
Times found it “as charismatically off the wall as Mr.
Young’s records.” Now, in Special Deluxe, Young has
fashioned a second work of extraordinary reminiscences about
his Canadian boyhood, his musical influences, his family,
the rock ’n’ roll life, and one of his deepest, most
ebullient passions: cars. Through the framework of the many
vehicles he’s collected and driven, Young explores his love
for the well-crafted vintage automobile,and examines his
newfound awareness of his hobby’s negative environmental
impact. With his ferocious devotion to clean energy, he
recounts the saga of Lincvolt, his specially modified
electric car, and his efforts to demonstrate to lawmakers
and consumers how viable non-gas-guzzling vehicles truly can
be.
Special Deluxe captures Young’s singular
lyrical, almost musical, voice. Witty, eclectic, and
wonderfully candid, Special Deluxe is an
unforgettable amalgam of memories, artwork, and political
ponderings from one of the most genuine and enigmatic
artists of our time.
