Novelist Spotlight #196: ‘Rock of Pages’ illustrates connection between 1980s heavy metal and literature

Sat Jan 24 2026

Listen

In the spotlight is Jesse Kavadlo, author of “Rock of Pages,” a book inspired by his decades of work as a professor of literature and as a musician. In “Rock of Pages,” Kavadlo analyzes the ways in which 1980s heavy metal aligns with and develops many of the themes prevalent in the canon of literature. In doing so, the book examines some of the contexts of 1980s heavy metal, including the Cold War, the rise of MTV, and the formation of the Parents Music Resource Center and subsequent congressional hearings.   Learn more about Jesse Kavaldo and his books and teaching here: https://jessekavadlo.com    Novelist Spotlight is produced and hosted by Mike Consol.
