Books, Movies, Rhythm, Blues

Twenty Years of Writing about Film, Music and Books

Summary

Books, Movies, Rhythm, Blues by Nick Hornby - a collection of writing about film, music and books

Books, Movies, Rhythm, Blues is the companion volume to Fan Mail, Nick Hornby's collection of writings on football. This second collection brings together the best of his other non-fiction pieces, on film and tv, writers and painters and music, and including one exceptional fragment of autobiography. With subject matter ranging from the Sundance Festival to Abbey Road Studios, from P.G. Wodehouse to The West Wing, these are pieces that 'were written for fun, or because I felt I had things to say and time to say them, or because the commissions were unusual and imaginative, or because ... I was being asked to go somewhere I had never been before.'

This Penguin Special, available exclusively as an ebook, can be read in two hours or less. It will be loved by readers of High Fidelity and About a Boy, as well as fans of Hornby everywhere.
