This Book Is Broken is a book written by Eye Weekly editor Stuart Berman about the Toronto indie rock band Broken Social Scene, from its inception to its critical acclaim.[1]
The book was reviewed by the National Post,[2] amNewYork,[3] and the Vancouver Sun.[4] At a debate on the book with the author and members Brendan Canning and Dave Newfeld, Newfeld said that his representation in the book was incorrect; he said, due to its nature as an oral history, "the version told by the most popular person at the party becomes the truth."[5]
