Before the band exists, there is a girl growing up largely on her own in the canyons of Los Angeles — and Reid drops us directly into Daisy's voice and world without a word of conventional narration.
Discussion Questions
6 questions1.The novel presents itself entirely as a transcribed oral history, with no narrator outside the characters themselves. What was your first reaction to this format? Did it feel immediately immersive, or did it take time to settle into?
a.What does the interview format allow Reid to do that traditional third-person narration would not?
b.What does it withhold from us?
2.Daisy grows up in a wealthy but emotionally absent household, spending her teenage years wandering the Sunset Strip, befriending musicians, and essentially educating herself in music and freedom. How does Reid use Daisy's childhood to establish her as someone who belongs nowhere — and therefore everywhere?
3.Daisy describes herself as someone who never wanted to be a muse — she wanted to be the artist. How does this desire shape her relationship to the male musicians she encounters in her early years on the Strip?
