Daisy Jones & The Six

by Taylor Jenkins Reid · 2019

Daisy Jones & The Six is a 2019 historical‑fiction novel by American author Taylor Jenkins Reid. Told entirely as an oral history, the book weaves together interview transcripts, emails, song lyrics and memoir excerpts to chronicle the meteoric rise and dramatic breakup of a fictional 1970s rock band. The story follows Daisy Jones, a charismatic, drug‑and‑sex‑infused groupie turned singer, and Billy Dunne, the brooding frontman of The Six, as they navigate fame, creative tension, love, and the excesses of the era. The novel captures the sound and spirit of the 1970s music scene while exploring themes of coming‑of‑age, substance abuse, artistic collaboration, and the cost of stardom.
