In Catch a Wave, Peter Ames Carlin pulls back the curtain on Brian Wilson, one of popular music's most revered luminaries, as well as its biggest mystery. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and never-before heard studio recordings, Carlin follows the Beach Boys from their earliest days through Brian's deepening emotional problems to his triumphant re-emergence with the release of Smile, the legendarily unreleased album he had originally shelved.

I loved this. It's a difficult story told well. Melancholy, terrifying, and wonderful. Kind of like BW's music. Kudos to the author, the narrator, the Beach Boys, and most of all Brian Wilson.
