A Perfect Union of Contrary Things (Backbeat Books) by Sarah Jensen with Maynard James Keenan debuted at #10 on the New York Times Best Seller’ list of hardcover non-fiction releases.
Keenan, who is known for not merely being protective about his personal life but at times pointedly cagey and misleading about his history, is in the midst of a round of book readings. The special evening includes Keenan reading passages from A Perfect Union of Contrary Things with a backdrop of never before seen photos and videos, as well as taking questions from the audience in what will be a rare moment of direct interaction between the elusive musician and the fans of his projects.
