Esta desternillante antología de semblanzas, ensayos, autopsias y reseñas sirve para rescatar el trabajo del crítico de rock más famoso de los Estados Unidos: Lester Bangs. Textos escogidos por el también periodista musical estadounidense Greil Marcus, de las diferentes publicaciones para las que escribió Bangs (Rolling Stones, Village Voice y Creem). Prosas reunidas en las que Marcus "trata de recomponer la imagen de un hombre que crea su propia visión del mundo, llevándola a la praxis, enfrentándose a sus consecuencias y tratando de sobrevivirse a sí mismo". Lester Bangs creía apasionadamente en la fuerza redentora y transformadora de la música rock, reivindicándola como la más vital e innovadora de las artes populares, sin dejar por ello de denunciar sus más absurdos excesos, ni de vilipendiar tampoco a sus ídolos: John Lennon, Lou Reed, John Coltrane, Iggy Pop, The Clash, David Bowie, Kraftwerk... Bangs forjó en poco tiempo un estilo compulsivamente excéntrico, personal e inconfundiblemente salvaje que dejaría una impronta indeleble en la historiografía roquera.

This hilarious anthology of portraits, essays, and reviews serves to rescue the work of America's most famous rock critic: Lester Bangs. Texts chosen by the American music journalist Greil Marcus. Lester Bangs passionately believed in the redeeming and transforming force of rock music, claiming it as the most vital and innovative of the popular arts while also discussing his idols: John Lennon, Lou Reed, John Coltrane, Iggy Pop, The Clash, and David Bowie. Bangs forged in a short time a compulsively eccentric, personal and unmistakably wild style that would leave an indelible mark on rock historiography.

Lester Bangs trained as a critic working for Rolling Stone magazine, under the orders of the all-powerful Jan Wenner, who discharged his services for his iconoclastic savagery. He moved to Detroit where he served as editor of Creem magazine, before moving to New York and immersing himself in the emerging punk scene of the moment, collaborating with several newspapers and with the literary supplement of the defunct Village Voice.
