Blondie guitarist Chris Stein has released his fourth book, "Under a Rock," now available in stores. Known for his musical prowess, Stein ventures into the literary world with a memoir that gives fans an intimate look at his life and the moments that have shaped him.
After delighting readers with two volumes of his photography and a book on artist H.R. Giger's art direction for Debbie Harry's solo album "Koo Koo," Stein's latest work is a departure from visual artistry and into a narrative of his personal journey.
In "Under a Rock," Stein delves into the reasons behind his decision to pen a memoir at this juncture of his life. With a candidness characteristic of his artistic expression, he shares, "I just wanted to get all this stuff out while I still remembered it."
His enjoyment of writing, particularly the extensive captioning in his photo books, translated into a deeper exploration of his past through words. Stein's memoir is not just a recounting of events but more a reflection of his passion for writing and the meticulous records he kept in his journals over the years.
Stein's journals serve as the backbone of his memoir, but they are not the sole contributors to the tapestry of memories he presents. Photographs and interactions with others have played a significant role in reviving forgotten moments.
