The Tragically Hip - Book By David Sachs“Taking beloved cuts from Canada’s house band and, well, twisting them up into fictional stories that shine an entirely new spotlight on some of the songs that have been the soundtrack to our lives… …established fans will enjoy the new slants to some of their favorite songs as well as the photos of Gord and the boys. If you’re new to the Hip, this is a pretty unique introduction.”

“Tragically Hip, Twisted: Illustrated stories inspired by Hip songs” is a collection of nine fictional ‘covers’ of classic Hip songs from author David Sachs. The stories were written as a hobby over a fifteen year period, and published as a collection along with pictures of the band and Canadiana as a tribute to the band after their final tour. Sales from the book help the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research.
