|  | Arthur Rimbaud by Jean-Luc Steinmetz
This biography concentrates on fusing the conflicts apparent in the life of Rimbaud, who on the one hand was the passionate lover of fellow poet Paul Verlaine and the boy wonder of 19th-century poetics, and on the other was an early deserter of arts and letters who became an international arms trader. This biography is lyrical and novelistic, and the subject matter itself the stuff of page-turners. AUTHOR: Jean-Luc Steinmetz

 | Authorized Biography of Neil Young by Jimmy McDonough
This biography, constructed from hundreds of interviews, provides access for the first time into the life and mind of the notoriously secretive Neil Young., a founder of Buffalo Springfield and one of the most influential rockers of the last three decades of the 20th century. The book covers his childhood and his early days in the folky clubs of Toronto, where he met Joni Mitchell and Stephen Sills; the years with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, & Nash; the single Only Love Can Break Your Heart and the album HARVEST that led to superstardom; his experiments with computers and slide into semi-obscurity in the `80s; and his comeback in the `90s with HARVEST MOON and his Oscar-nominated title song for the movie PHILADELPHIA. Author McDonough also delves into Young`s romance with the actress Carrie Snodgrass, his marriages to Susan Acevedo and Pegi Morton, his two cerebral palsy-afflicted sons, his lifelong passion for model trains, his collection of vintage cars, his famously difficult relationship with David Geffen, who sued him for $3 million dollars for not making Neil Young music any more - and where he got the nickname Shakey.
