Author Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta will visit the Verona Public Library on Monday, August 3 at 7 p.m. to discuss her book On the Guest List: Adventures of a Music Journalist. Her memoir details life as both a music journalist and fan during the 1970s and 80s punk, new wave and rock scene. She has written for such publications as The Aquarian Arts Weekly, music.com and Punk magazine.
Unlike other music memoirs, there is no downward spiral into drugs and addiction, nor is it a groupie tell all. On the Guest List is simply a compilation of mostly happy memories straight from the author.
Books will be available for purchase and signing. For more details, contact the Library at 973-857-4848.
