Summary
The first all-encompassing biography of Elliott Smith, offering an intimate portrait of his life and musical legacy with brand-new interviews, lyrics, and correspondence from the people closest to him, many speaking for the first time

Nobody Broke Your Heart is a tender, nuanced narrative of Elliott Smith, one of the most influential and tragic musicians of the 1990s, whose records are deeply beloved to this day, written by New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker–published author Jamie Fisher.

Starting with his childhood in Texas, following him through his making as an artist in Portland and New York, and reckoning honestly with his unmaking in Los Angeles, Fisher has used never-before-seen archival evidence (unheard recordings, draft lyrics, photos, and correspondence) alongside extensive interviews with friends, family, girlfriends, and collaborators to shed light on the real Elliott Smith, in all his complexity.

Vividly animating Elliott's world and analyzing his work and legacy in loving depth, Nobody Broke Your Heart is an essential book for anyone who loves Elliott Smith and his music—and anyone who’s loved someone grappling with addiction and mental illness.
