Sheffield writes again: Second book an ode to girls, Duran Duran

Rob Sheffield, the Rolling Stone music critic who got his start here in Charlottesville and whose first book, Love is a Mix Tape, detailed his love affair with his late wife and was the subject of a Hook cover story, has written a second music-inspired memoir. Talking to Girls About Duran Duran: One Young Man's Quest for True Love and a Cooler Haircut is an ode to the '80s–- and the ladies–- that was named one of Amazon.com's Best Books of the Month in July 2010 and has received both glowing and semi-glowing reviews.
