Bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger may write in total silence, but music played a huge part in her development as a creative force. From New York’s punk rock movement to the British art rock scene, she hopscotches across genres in her Guest DJ Project set, sharing eye-opening views on well-known songs and introducing some lesser known gems.

She dubs Patti Smith the “goddess of rebellion” and talks about the artist’s influence on her “misspent youth.” The “The Time Traveler’s Wife” author also tells KCRW DJ Eric J Lawrence that Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” was the unofficial theme song of her most recent book, “Her Fearful Symmetry.” Audrey also names Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry as a muse.
