Reggaes chief eyewitness, dropping testimony on reggaes chief prophet with truth, blood, and fire. -Marlon James, Man Booker Prize-winning authorRenowned reggae historian Roger Steffenss riveting oral history of Bob Marleys life draws on four decades of intimate interviews with band members, family, lovers, and confidants-many speaking publicly for the first time. Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as a crucial voice in the documentation of Marleys legacy, Steffens spent years traveling with the Wailers and taking iconic photographs. Through eyewitness accounts of vivid scenes-the future star auditioning for Coxson Dodd; the violent confrontation between the Wailers and producer Lee Perry; the attempted assassination (and conspiracy theories that followed); the artists tragic death from cancer-So Much Things to Say tells Marleys story like never before. What emerges is a legendary figure who feels a bit more human (The New Yorker). 40 photographs
