Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Brothers by Alex Van Halen. Co-written with acclaimed New Yorker journalist Ariel Levy, this memoir is Alex’s heartfelt tribute to his younger brother Edward, never “Eddie”, written in the shadow of grief after his passing.
With a voice that’s both gritty and tender, Alex traces their journey from childhood in the Netherlands to their working-class upbringing in Pasadena, California. Their father was a roaming musician, their mother a dignified Indonesian-born woman who insisted her sons wear suits no matter how famous they became. Through stories of backstage chaos, musical clashes, and rebellious antics, Alex paints a vivid portrait of a bond forged in rhythm and resilience.
But at its core, Brothers is a story of love, of two boys who shared everything: a tiny house, a record player, a relentless drive, and a lifetime of music. “We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime,” Alex writes. This is their story, told with raw honesty and enduring affection.
