Abstract

Since his death in 2003 at the age of fifty-six, Warren Zevon’s following has grown, and seven books on Zevon have appeared in the last few years, with more in the works. The Zevon legend continues to attract attention both because of the outstanding quality of his best songs and because of the poignant trajectory of his life. Zevon’s descent into alcoholism and other addictions, along with his debauchery and erratic behaviour, took its toll and his performances suffered, an aspect disturbingly captured in the memoir by his ex-wife Crystal Zevon. This collection of chapters on Zevon’s life and music, authored by philosophers who are also Zevon fans, will provide new and exciting insights into Zevon’s thinking, his cynical lyrics, and the cruel ironies of his roller-coaster life and career.
