Writing about yourself is a funny business… But in a projectlike this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader hismind. In these pages, I´ve tried to do this. -Bruce Springsteen,from the pages of Born to Run.

In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed atthe Super Bowl´s halftime show. The experience was so exhilaratingthat Bruce decided to write about it. That´s how this extraordinaryautobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteenhas privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life,bringing to these pages the same honesty, humour and originalityfound in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold,New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger and darkness that fuelled hisimagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as `The BigBang´: seeing Elvis Presley´s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Hevividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, hisearly days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the EStreet Band. With disarming candour, he also tells for the firsttime the story of the personal struggles that inspired his bestwork, and shows us why the song `Born to Run´ reveals more than wepreviously realized. Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone whohas ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more thana legendary rock star´s memoir. This is a book for workers anddreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaksor anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river ofrock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with suchforce and sweep. Like many of his songs (`Thunder Road´,`Badlands´, `Darkness on the Edge of Town´, `The River´, `Born inthe U.S.A.´, `The Rising´, and `The Ghost of Tom Joad´, to namejust a few), Bruce Springsteen´s autobiography is written with thelyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who hasthought deeply about his experiences.
