That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown\/Archetype","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027429933296,"sku":"9780307396181","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307396181_p0.jpg?v=1763672176","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307396181","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
