Memoir

Nina Simone's Gum

By Warren Ellis

About this book

After a Nina Simone performance, musician Warren Ellis saves a piece of gum she left behind. He follows the object through years of keeping it and considers what happens when an ordinary thing becomes a relic. The book uses that small object to think about listening, attention, and the memories people attach to a performance.
