Meticulous yet vivid . . . Hermes expertly conjures the difference
scenes Reed inhabited, placing him amid a rich cast of
collaborators, friends and lovers
*Guardian*
A sympathetic portrait of a vastly talented but difficult man
*Mojo*
No matter how well you know the man and his music, there’s so much
more to him that’s never been revealed until now. This book has the
menace and allure of Reed’s finest work
*Rolling Stone*
Plenty has been written about Reed, but only Hermes, to my mind,
has gotten Reed’s peculiar balance, of person and poseur, exactly
right . . . This biography is as beautifully researched as it is
written
*The Washington Post*
Fans will likely devour many of these stories and want to live
inside of them
*The Atlantic*
