Darran Anderson is an Irish writer. He is a co-editor of 3:AM Magazine.
This book is intended to be a biography of an album, but due to
Darran Anderson’s thorough research and skilled prose storytelling,
Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson morphs into a
brilliant (if often dark) illustration of Serge Gainsbourg himself,
even more than that of the title character, Melody Nelson. That
said, when one knows this much more about the album, the artist and
his muse, much like the narrator himself, one will find it almost
impossible to avoid falling in love with Melody.
