NATIONAL BESTSELLER Tender as a ballad and pleasurable as a pop song, Deep Cuts is both a romp into the indie sleaze era of the early aughts and a timeless love story. Coco Mellors, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Sisters
Soon to be a major motion picture from A24!
Deep Cuts will live alongside all the unforgettable music that Holly writes about so beautifully, with her whole heart. Cameron Crowe, Academy Award winning writer/director of Almost Famous
A BOOK RIOT BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Look, the song whispered to me, that day in my living room. Life can be so big.
It s a Friday night in a campus bar in Berkeley, fall of 2000, and Percy Marks is pontificating about music again. Hall and Oates is on the jukebox, and Percy who has no talent for music, just lots of opinions about it can t stop herself from overanalyzing the song, indulging what she knows to be her most annoying habit. But something is different tonight. The guy beside her at the bar, fellow student Joe Morrow, is a songwriter. And he could listen to Percy talk all night.
Joe asks Percy for feedback on one of his songs and the results kick off a partnership that will span years, ignite new passions in them both, and crush their egos again and again. Is their collaboration worth its cost? Or is it holding Percy back from finding her own voice?
Moving from Brooklyn bars to San Francisco dance floors, Deep Cuts examines the nature of talent, obsession, belonging, and above all, our need to be heard.
(Review)
This is so good it makes me want to puke. Haley Pham
It is fair to say that I am the target audience for this book . . . I had no idea where this book came from or how far away from me the author lives, but she spotted me through some kind of insane telescopic sight and fired. . . . I haven t read anything quite like Deep Cuts before, because part of its subject matter is a contemplation of the educated, deeply-focused music fan s relationship with talent. . . . Brickley isn t aiming for immortality, which is maybe why it has a chance of lasting. Nick Hornby, author of High Fidelity
Permit me a confession. As a music lover, I collect definitive listening experiences. The DLE is that rare moment when a song so exquisitely captures a time or a person or a feeling that it stakes a forever-claim in your heart. Years later, that exact feeling can return like an emotional landslide, in a single chord. It s the great gift of music, or in this wonderful case Holly Brickely s Deep Cuts. It ll forever transport me to a time in late-winter, the fog on the San Francisco Bay, and the gift of these funny, deep-feeling characters I never want to leave behind. Deep Cuts is my latest treasured DLE, in book form, and it will live alongside all the unforgettable music that Holly writes about so beautifully, with her whole heart. Cameron Crowe, Academy Award winning filmmaker and journalist
A captivating love letter to the early aughts and the era of indie sleaze. . . . Deep Cuts delves into the raw, relatable realities of artistic ambition, toxic dynamics, and the complexity of growing up. Isaac Fitzgerald, TODAY
It s perhaps inevitable that Holly Brickley s Deep Cuts will be likened to other noteworthy (feeble pun intended) books that incorporate music most recently Daisy Jones and the Six, possibly High Fidelity, etc. What could have been a straight-up romance turns into something far more interesting. The Minnesota Star Tribune
[R]ock novels are historically lame. Or a reboot of truth . . . But something brand new, that encompasses the reality and truth of being a music fan? I m not sure any book exists that nails it as well as Deep Cuts. Bob Lefsetz, The Lefsetz Letter
[D]azzling. Booklist, starred review
It s a banger. Publishers Weekly
I absolutely loved Deep Cuts clever and heart-wrenching and addictive, the kind of novel that grabs you in an instant and takes you reeling through its pages. Miranda Cowley Heller, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Paper Palace
I find it hard to remember the last time I found a novel so relatable and enjoyable. Prepare to fall in love with Percy and Joe this spring. Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place, Wrong Time
