Dickens and Prince

A fascinating exploration of the unlikely similarities between two creative geniuses, Victorian novelist Charles Dickens and modern American rock star Prince. From bestselling author Nick Hornby comes a warm and humorous look at how two artists spanning race, class, and centuries have electrified their different disciplines, leaving behind legacies that resound far beyond their own time. Through personal tragedies, boundless productivity, and other parallels, Hornby shows how these two unlikely men "lit up the world" and creates a lively rumination on the creativity and soul it takes to produce great art.
