Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing

this book reads like it was written pretty fast (the lack of copyediting actually interferes w/ readability at some points). it is as much elliott smith biography as i (a decently-familiar listener) needed to read, but i imagine its ambiguity, haste, lack of key interviewees, and tendency to hand over entire chapters to a single ‘friend''s verbatim recollections would enrage a more devoted fan.
