Little, Brown and Co. announced Thursday that it
had acquired a book by DeCurtis. The writer interviewed Reed
numerous times and wrote the liner notes for an anthology of
songs by the group Reed led in the 1960s, the Velvet
Underground.
Little, Brown bills the biography as offering "the inside story"
of the brilliant and contentious artist. The book is currently
untitled and doesn't yet have a release date.
Reed, one of the most influential musicians of the past 50
years, died Oct. 27 at age 71. He was known for such songs as
"Walk On the Wild Side," ''Heroin" and "Pale Blue Eyes."
