Musician Nick Currie, also known as Momus, looks back on his life, imagining his personal history narrated by various figures of popular culture, from David Bowie to Ernest Hemingway.
What The Reviewers Say
Scottish polymath Momus...has an uncanny ear for the cadence of a particular author.
... [a] delightful and goofy memoir.
A pop semistar reminisces in the voices of great writers in this dazzlingly off-beat memoir.
... the appearance by David Bowie, N’s 'lodestar, the single most decisive influence on his life,' is lovely, and it will make those who share the author’s love for him miss Bowie all the more.
