Anyone hear about this? I recall Jim DeRogatis talking about this on Sound Opinions about 6 months ago. Love him or hate him, I often find it interesting to hear his spin on prog. And it seems this book is done by a bunch of the hipster/pitchfork music journalists.
I wonder if the book will kiss the ass of King Crimson, while taking pottyshots at ELP.

Yes is the Answer: And Other Prog Rock Tales edited by Marc Weingarten and Tyson Cornell
Featuring Rick Moody, Seth Greenland, Charles Bock, Nathan Larsen, and many, many more
Progressive rock is maligned and misunderstood. Critics hate it, hipsters scoff at it. Yes Is The Answer is a pointed rebuke to the prog-haters, the first literary anthology devoted to the sub genre. Featuring acclaimed novelists, Rick Moody, Wesley Stace, Seth Greenland, Charles Bock, and Joe Meno, as well as musicians Matthew Sweet, Nathan Larson, and Peter Case, Yes Is The Answer is the first book that dares to thoughtfully reclaim prog-rock as a subject worthy of serious consideration. So take a Topographic Journey into a 21st Century Schizoid land of Prog-Lit!
Released May 14, 1013
