Annie Zaleski wrote the book on Duran Duran. No—really. A longtime music journalist and native of Northeast Ohio, the new Oberlin Alumni Magazine editor chronicled the English rockers through Duran Duran’s Rio as part of the influential 33 ⅓ book series, which is dedicated to seminal albums released throughout history. It’s one of numerous rock volumes penned by Zaleski, who has also written books about Lady Gaga, Pink, and Christmas music. She has also lent her talents to a host of newspapers, magazines, and online publications—among them Rolling Stone, NPR, The Guardian, Salon, and Billboard—as well as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. At the link in bio, read more about why she’s excited to be on staff at Oberlin.
