In 'Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon,' out Tuesday, Simon, Gladwell, and journalist Bruce Headlam discuss the music legend’s life and career.
“Between conversations, Gladwell deploys his signature blend of historical research and social science in an attempt to understand how a boy from 1940s Queens conjured near-perfect songs over an incredible 65-year career. Along the way, he gathers reflections on Simon’s particular genius from the likes of Sting, Herbie Hancock, Renee Fleming, Jeff Tweedy, Aaron Lindsey, and Roseanne Cash,” Pushkin Industries described of Miracle and Wonder.
“I’ve idolized Paul Simon since I was a kid, so you can imagine what it was like for me and [co-author] Bruce [Headlam] to be able to ask Paul Simon, one of our greatest America songwriters if not the greatest, to talk about his career, play for us, and analyze how everything from “Bridge Over Troubled Water” to “Graceland” came to be.
