33 1/3 announce next wave of books, including Ezra Furman's words on Transformer by Lou Reed
A new list of 16 titles has been announced for the 33 1/3 book series.
Each book focuses on one album by one artist and is written (mostly) by one author. They are published by Bloomsbury.
Speaking about the new additions, 33 1/3 wrote:
"This was an extremely competitive round with unprecedented submission numbers. So first of all, thank you to everyone who submitted and to everyone who keeps us going. From 605 proposal we have selected 16 to become books in the series. I’ll introduce each author and approach to you over the next three weeks but first I’d like to present the complete list of books. You’re bound to disagree with some of my selections but I truly feel that these 16 proposals were outstanding original pieces of thought that will make brilliant additions to this series."
Included in the new 16-book wave is Bjork's Homogenic by Emily Mackay, Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks OST by Clare Nina Norelli, and Lou Reed's Transformer by Ezra Furman. This wave will be available on shelves from Spring 2017.
