Dr. Glenn Berger has won the second annual Nicholas Schaffner Award for Music in Literature. For winning the award, Schaffner Press will publish Berger’s memoir The Schlepper and the Superstar: My Studio Days with Dylan, Jagger, Sinatra, and More in summer 2016.
The Award was created to honor Nicholas Schaffner, publisher Timothy Schaffner’s brother, who was an esteemed music critic and biographer. The book was chosen for its “energy, voice, and compelling anecdotes.”
“Glenn Berger’s lively, colorful, and insightful memoir of working among the giants of the music industry is the perfect follow-up to Alice Fogel’s Interval in capturing the essence of how music moves us, influences us and changes our lives,” explained Schaffner in a statement.
