Will Gompertz on Daisy Jones & The Six which Reese Witherspoon's making into TV ★★★☆☆
The problem for any novelist choosing rock'n'roll as a subject for a book is how to make their fiction stranger - and more compelling - than the truth.
The American author Taylor Jenkins Reid is the latest writer to enter the unforgiving mosh-pit that is pop fiction with her Flower-Power era novel Daisy Jones & The Six. Meanwhile, over in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Billy Dunne and his brother Graham form a teenage band with three other local lads. They do okay, hire a keyboard player called Karen, become The Six and move to LA, where in due course, they hook up with the naturally gifted but constantly strung-out Miss Jones.
Thereafter, as you are drawn further and further into the bell-bottomed, drug-addled, band-on-a-verge-of-a-breakthrough world of Daisy Jones & The Six, it's like their first album: a real grower.
