A trailer has been released for Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer vocalist Maynard James Keenan‘s upcoming authorized biography. Keenan worked on the book with writer Sarah Jensen. Titled, ‘A Perfect Union Of Contrary Things‘, it has been slated for a November 08th release date on Backbeat Books. It tells the tale of Keenan‘s life from his Midwest childhood and time in the U.S. Army to his long tenure as one of rock & metal’s most acclaimed frontmen. An official excerpt from the press release for the book describes it as such:
“‘A Perfect Union Of Contrary Things‘ presents the outtakes, the scenes of disappointment and triumph, and the events that led him to take one step after the next, to change direction, to explore sometimes surprising opportunities. Included throughout are passages in Keenan’s own words, often humorous anecdotes that illuminate the narrative. There is also commentary by his family members, friends, instructors, and industry colleagues. The book also features a foreword by Alex Grey, an American visionary artist and longtime friend of Keenan.
Featuring photos of Keenan from childhood to today, A Perfect Union Of Contrary Things presents Maynard James Keenan’s story as a metaphor for the reader’s own evolution and an encouragement to follow our dreams, hold fast to individual integrity, and work ceaselessly to fulfill our creative potential.”
