Completing the memoirs of Prince

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 19 November 2019

Dan Piepenbring was living his life, writing for The Paris Review, when he got a call from a music legend seeking his help to write a memoir. But Prince  would die from an overdose before their collaboration was complete. Piepenbring was left with the responsibility of finishing the book himself. We'll talk to him about The Beautiful Ones by Prince
