Daron's Guitar Chronicles - Tan, Cecilia

. .

Résumé :
A slow-burn gay romance among rock stars in the 1980s Ziggy went to India. Daron traveled the world. Is the music business ready for what happens when they meet again? When last we saw guitar prodigy Daron Marks, he was on a beach in Australia on the very last day of 1989. A new decade has dawned and Daron has little choice but to embrace change. Daron embarks on a journey of artistic growth, studying more styles of guitar and music, a journey that takes him from Australia to Virginia to Spain to New York City... Ziggy's home town. Daron's been preparing for changes in his career, but is he prepared for a reunion with Ziggy? Ziggy is back and he's got a plan. Winner of the Rose & Bay Award for Crowdfunded Fiction Readers speak! Star-crossed lovers-absolutely! I love Daron and Ziggy-together or apart, but better together. I love the descriptions of music in DGC, the tales of touring, the frustrations of the crooked record companies. These books read like a perch on the shoulder of a kid growing up accidentally famous in the late '80s, and I love that too. A grand feat of altogether consummate storytelling. From the moment Daron was introduced as a teenager in the '80s in Chapter One, not only afraid of anyone finding out he's gay but so afraid of simply being gay, Tan has taken readers on a journey deep into the life of her young guitar prodigy. I think this is my favorite volume so far. Daron takes himself on a strange side trip that helps him to develop both musically and personally, and when he gets back... everything's a little bit more interesting for it....
