ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Craig Robertson grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand, where as a student he wrote a thesis on the ‘Dunedin Sound’, as well as articles for Rip It Up and a fanzine on local bands. He is now professor of media studies at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and the author of The Passport in America: The History of a Document (‘provocative’ – New York Times) and The Filing Cabinet: A Vertical History of Information (‘captivating’ – The Atlantic). His book on Chris Knox is a labour of love by an enthusiast with a deep understanding of the man, the music and the culture he worked in. Knox himself blessed the project before his stroke.
