The amazing Aimee Mann had a birthday on September 8th. Happy birthday, Aimee Mann! In my 80s coming-of-age novel, Your Silent Face, Stuart Page spends some time in a record shop thinking about Mann and the haunting song, “Coming Up Close.” The song ties into his overall feelings during his coming-of-age experience. If you haven’t read YSF, which is now available in paperback, you can check out the reviews on Amazon or at Kirkus Reviews.

Also available at the Amazon Kindle shop, or at the Apple Book Store.

There is also a companion playlist on Spotify! Link below.
