Ricky Ian Gordon on a Life of Sex, Drugs, and Opera
Teenage prodigy and Joni Mitchell devotee Ricky Ian Gordon turned novels and poems into operas, his exuberant talent shaped by underlying pain, resonant in works from The Grapes of Wrath to deeply personal interpretations of poets like Langston Hughes and Marie Howe. Now he has written one of the most compelling memoirs you are likely to read this year. Join Ricky and One Grand Books at The Darby for a reading and conversation.
