“When it comes to funk and words, lyrics and language, there couldn’t be a better pairing than Ben Greenman and Prince. From my experience with both of them, this is the perfect match, like ham hocks and cornflakes.”
―George Clinton
?"?Prince’s genius is on full display here as Greenman remarks on his prolific music virtuosity, putting out an album once a year, and his obsessive dedication to saving every little scrap of his writing and recording to use again. Greenman’s brilliant book celebrates a musician who crammed substance into every corner of his music.?"?
―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Praise for Ben Greenman
“Greenman understands the power of music all too well.” ―Newsday
"Incapable of writing anything dry or familiar or expected. He is one of the most versatile, consistently surprising writers at work today.” ―Dave Eggers
“Brilliant and wry” ―Karen Russell
“Greenman rarely plays a wrong chord.” ―New York Times
“He writes sentences so sharp they hurt.” ―Jess Walter
“What a fine and unique writer Ben Greenman is. I love his sentences, his precision. I feel like he’s absorbed and digested so much great literature, distilling it all to create his own fantastic universe of stories and ideas.” –Jonathan Ames
“Seriously brilliant and lyrical” ―Simon Van Booy
"Ben Greenman's mind contains, among other things, a literary critic, a cultural commentator, a cowboy, a satirist, a scientist, a surrealist, a nut, a genius, a child prodigy, and a poet." -Susan Minot
“Like Bruno Schulz, George Saunders, Donald Barthelme, and no one else I can think of, Greenman has the power to be whimsical without resorting to whimsy.” ―Darin Strauss
“Light-stepping and hard-hitting Greenman gets it right” ― Walter Mosley

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Ben Greenman's monumental yet intimate book on Prince comes a year after the star's death at the age of 57 in an elevator at the legendary Paisley Park complex. With the release of a string of critically acclaimed albums and a new solo tour, the Minneapolis Genius looked set for a renaissance after a quiet-ish (by his standards) decade or so. And then: the silence, forever. Dig If U Will The Picture is a portrait of The Artist, who was also the artist who will be remembered by many as the brightest, most seductive and enigmatic pop star of his generation. In thematically structured chapters, Ben Greenman anatomizes a career and an aesthetic that at times seemed otherworldly. Drawing on over 40 studio albums, a repertoire of 2,000 plus live shows and close analysis of the unreleased highlights of the Vault, Dig If U Will the Picture is a critical consideration of Prince's art, a testimony to the author's deep and abiding personal connection to the work, and a fitting memorial. From the co-author of the memoir I Am Brian Wilson, a monumental yet intimate book on Prince coming a year after the star's unexpected death.
