Frank

In "Frank: The True Story that Inspired the Movie," Jon Ronson revisits his experiences as the keyboard player in the eccentric Frank Sidebottom Oh Blimey Big Band during the late 1980s, shedding light on the enigmatic figure behind the big fake head. This memoir reflects on the whimsical yet challenging moments shared with fellow band members, celebrating the lives of outsider artists who often elude mainstream success. Co-written as a companion piece to the 2014 film "Frank," which stars Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Domhnall Gleeson, Ronson crafts a narrative that balances humor and poignancy while revealing the true story behind the fictionalized tale.
