Is it as good as the reviews say? I might take a look.
Current bed-side reading is John Savage’s ‘Time Travel’, a sort of Tardis trip back to the music scene of 1976-96. He’s a committed, serious witness but communicates the evidence in a passionate way. You can get it for under a fiver online.
A football equivalent might be Eduardo Galeano’s ‘Football in Sun and Shadow’. He’s a great writer and comes out with truths like “Football is a pleasure that hurts”, and elsewhere “No matter how hard you try to silence it, human history refuses to shut up” a line which almost brings a tear!
OK that’s enough of ‘pseud’s corner’. But it’s useful to have these comments – go to any modern bookshop and it overwhelms, with thousands of titles demanding attention, but how many actually live up to the blurb and hype?
