Let Me Clear My Throat

Passarello has an extensive theatre background, and the book is deeply preoccupied with performance, which should broaden its appeal and create a built-in audience Recent work by Alex Ross and Greil Marcus has opened up a space for critically serious and popularly successful music writing Passarello will produce a series of podcasts (video enabled, and available on youtube), syncing with and amplifying her interest in sound, to be distributed to book, theatre, and music sites Passarello has good major media contacts from her work as a critic, and we can expect attention to the book from them (for instance, Ta-Nehisi Coates' very active blog on The Atlantic) as well as from alternative media Let Me Clear My Throat represents Sarabande's biggest push to cultivate a nonfiction list striking for ambitious, nontraditional work and will have all our resources behind it
