(P/B) 31 SONGS

Παρουσίαση

31 Songs - shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award - by Nick Hornby, author of the million-copy number-one bestseller About a Boy, is a funny and touchingly personal account of the music that has influenced his life.
Through thirty-one songs that he either loves or has loved, Nick Hornby tells us what music means to his life. These personal and passionate pieces - refreshingly free of pretension - are a celebration of the joy that certain songs have given him. Together with additional writings on music from his column in the new Yorker - seen in the UK for the first time - 31 Songs is for Hornby what many of us have always wanted: a soundtrack to accompany life.
