Description
Wild Thing: The Short, Spellbinding Life of Jimi Hendrix by Phillip Norman
Through Norman’s customary exhaustive research, and sparkling prose, we come to know a young man who was shy and polite in private as he was outrageous in public; his hidden intellectual and aesthetic depths; the insecurity about singing that his instrumental genius could never allay; his lifelong futile efforts to please the father who never gave him love or understood what a prodigy he was.
