Bound for Glory - Woody Guthrie - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Bound for Glory is the funny, cynical and earthy autobiography of Woody Guthrie, the father of American folk music. He tells of his childhood running wild in an Oklahoma oil-boom town, the tragedies that struck his family and of his life on the open road during the Great Depression - hell-raising and brawling in boxcars, all the while singing a dime for his next meal. But above all, this is a song for an America Woody saw from the lonesome highway, as he travelled from one of the country to the other with guitar in hand and the songs that made him a legend drifting out over the Dust Bowl.

Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink - Elvis Costello - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Fantastic'' Nick Hornby ''Beautifully written'' Sunday Times ''Truly remarkable'' Rolling Stone Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink is the long-awaited memoir from Elvis Costello, one of rock and roll''s most iconic stars. Born Declan Patrick MacManus, Elvis Costello was raised in London and Liverpool, grandson of a trumpet player on the White Star Line and son of a jazz musician who became a successful radio dance band vocalist. Costello went into the family business and had taken the popular music world by storm before he was twenty-four.Costello continues to add to one of the most intriguing and extensive songbooks of the day. His performances have taken him from a cardboard guitar in his front room to fronting a rock and roll band on your television screen and performing in the world''s greatest concert halls in a wild variety of company. Unfaithful Music describes how Costello''s career has somehow endured for almost four decades through a combination of dumb luck and animal cunning, even managing the occasional absurd episode of pop stardom.This memoir, written with the same inimitable touch as his lyrics, and including dozens of images from his personal archive, offers his unique view of his unlikely and sometimes comical rise to international success, with diversions through the previously undocumented emotional foundations of some of his best known songs and the hits of tomorrow. The book contains many stories and observations about his renowned co-writers and co-conspirators, though Costello also pauses along the way for considerations on the less appealing side of infamy. Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink is destined to be a classic, idiosyncratic memoir of a singular man.

Seascraper - Benjamin Wood - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

'It is a sensuous treat, this novel. So much care has been given to every detail – of shrimps and sea mists and sinkpits, of work and music. A language of the sea washes over every page' Ross Raisin, award-winning author of God's Own Country'Seascraper is powerful, poignant and poetic. I can’t recommend it enough' Benjamin Myers, award-winning author of Cuddy Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach to scrape for shrimp; spending the rest of the day selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and scum, pining for Joan Wyeth down the street and rehearsing songs on his guitar. At heart, he is a folk musician, but it remains a private dream. When a striking visitor turns up, bringing the promise of Hollywood glamour, Thomas is shaken from the drudgery of his days and begins to see a different future. But how much of what the American claims is true, and how far can his inspiration carry Thomas?Haunting and timeless, this is the story of a young man hemmed in by his circumstances, striving to achieve fulfilment far beyond the world he knows. SEASCRAPER is a mesmerising portrait of a young man confined in by his class and the ghosts of his family's past, dreaming of artistic fulfilment. It confirms Benjamin Wood as an exceptional talent in British literature. 'Britain's answer to Donna Tartt' Sunday Times'A huge talent' Hilary Mantel'What a writer' Richard Osman

Priestdaddy - Patricia Lockwood - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

'' Priestdaddy caused a sensation when it hit bookshelves in 2017'' Vogue ''Glorious'' Sunday Times '' Laugh-out-loud funny'' The Times ''Extraordinary'' Observer ''Exceptional'' Telegraph ''Electric'' New York Times ''Snort-out-loud'' Financial Times ''Dazzling'' Guardian ''Do yourself a favour and read this memoir!'' BookPage WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOUR The childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed ''The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas'' by The New York Times , was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished, nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest. There was her mother, a woman who speaks almost entirely in strange riddles and arnings of impending danger. Above all, there was her gun-toting, guitar-riffing, frequently semi-naked father, who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine and found a loophole which saw him approved for the Catholic priesthood by the future Pope Benedict XVI, despite already having a wife and children.When an unexpected crisis forces Lockwood and her husband to move back into her parents'' rectory, she must learn to live again with the family''s simmering madness, and to reckon with the dark side of her religious upbringing. Pivoting from the raunchy to the sublime, from the comic to the serious, Priestdaddy is an unforgettable story of how we balance tradition against hard-won identity - and of how, having journeyed in the underworld, we can emerge with our levity and our sense of justice intact.''Destined to be a classic . . . this year''s must-read memoir '' Mary Karr, author of The Liars'' Club ''Irrepressible . . . joyous, funny and filthy . . . Lockwood blows the roof off every paragraph'' Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine ''Beautiful, funny and poignant. I wish I''d written this book '' Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy '' A revelatory debut . . . Lockwood''s prose is nothing short of ecstatic . . . her portrait of her epically eccentric family is funny, warm, and stuffed to bursting with emotional insight'' Joss Whedon'' Praise God, this is why books were invented '' Emily Berry, author of Dear Boy and Stranger, Baby
