<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback comes the candid, inspiring memoir of becoming a musician by the renowned composer and pop star. Far from a standard-issue celebrity autobiography, "A Cure for Gravity" is a smart, passionate book about music, the creative process, and coming of age as an artist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Part memoir, part discourse on the art of music. . . . This is an intelligent, thoughtful look into the mind of an artist.--<i>New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/> Since the release of his first best-selling album <i>Look Sharp</i> in 1979, Joe Jackson has forged a singular career in music through his originality as a composer and his notoriously independent stance toward music-business fashion. He has also been a famously private person, whose lack of interest in his own celebrity has been interpreted by some as aloofness. That reputation is shattered by <i>A Cure for Gravity</i>, Jackson's enormously funny and revealing memoir of growing up musical, from a culturally impoverished childhood in a rough English port town to the Royal Academy of Music, through London's Punk and New Wave scenes, up to the brink of pop stardom. Jackson describes his life as a teenage Beethoven fanatic; his early piano gigs for audiences of glass-throwing skinheads; and his days on the road with long-forgotten club bands. Far from a standard-issue celebrity autobiography, <i>A Cure for Gravity</i> is a smart, passionate book about music, the creative process, and coming of age as an artist.<br><i>Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award Finalist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Joe Jackson</b>'s internationally bestselling albums include <i>Look Sharp, Night and Day</i>, and <i>Body and Soul</i>. He has also composed music for film, video, and television. A graduate and now a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, he divides his time between New York City and Portsmouth, England.
