Paul Lisicky’s non-fiction includes Famous Builder (2002), an early work of creative non-fiction, and Song So Wild and Blue (2025), a book about his relationship with the music of Joni Mitchell.
The two books, published over two decades apart, reflect Lisicky’s ongoing interest in how art and place shape a life. Famous Builder blends essay and memoir, while the Joni Mitchell book examines how a single artist’s work can become woven into someone’s identity.
