Lori Majewski

I'm a diehard Duranie, so it's appropriate that my first book is Mad World: An Oral History of New Wave Artists and Songs That Defined the 1980s (Abrams, 2014). Co-authored by my BFF Jonathan Bernstein, it's a fun, full-color salute to the music of Duran Duran, The Smiths, New Order, Tears For Fears, Depeche Mode, Human League, OMD, Echo and the Bunnymen, Adam and the Ants, and many more! In all-new interviews, the artists discuss their breakthrough hits, as well as the culture of the times, their career highlights, the downfalls, the fights, the money, the madness and, of course, the hair! Duran's Nick Rhodes wrote the foreword, and fellow new-wave obsessive Moby, the afterword.

Jonathan and I met during the grunge years, when he was a seni
