Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed, by Paul Trynka: Granted, you would really have to be incompetent to write a biography of perhaps the ultimate rock artist that wasn't interesting. Talk about a loaded subject matter. Trynka more than does Pop justice, and in between outrageous stories, he actually gets into the gentleman stooge's skin. One of the best rock bios I've ever read.
My friend Jana Martin's sterling collection of short stories, Russian Lover (Yeti Press), just got a great writeup in Time Out Chicago.
