Insomnia cover

This paperback, "Insomnia" from Robbie Robertson, is due to be published 3rd September 2026 by Cornerstone.

Insomnia could only be more of its time if it were hand delivered by Jack Nicholson and Liza Minnelli . . . it is class-A gossip, the seventies crème de la crèmecaught up in their most excessive, decadent pomp . . . intense, exciting, at times delirious fun. * THE TIMES *
Insomnia offers a thrilling inside story of wild times in 1970s Hollywood . . . The work they both did during that period stands for itself: some of the greatest art in their respective fields that the world has ever seen or heard. The beautiful, honest and insightful writing of Insomnia only adds to its lustre. * TELEGRAPH *
A bracing read, written with enough precision and velocity. * INDEPENDENT *
Insomnia is an energetic re-telling of a period that is crucial in the careers of its two main subjects. We can really feel the genesis of a great collaboration starting here, and the importance of each for the other at dark periods in their respective lives. It’s fun, insightful and a celebration of the work of both. 8/10. * CLASH *
In this tale of wandering and homecoming, of trying and failing and trying something else, Robertson’s humanity feels plenty generous. * MOJO *
The book chronicles a wild ride of drugs, hookups, and many movie viewing sessions, often over pasta or fine food. * ROLLING STONE *
