'How Soon is Never?' by Marc Spitz

[suparni]

I was just at a literary agents office downtown and when I walked in I saw a shrinelike bookshelf with books like RAMONES: An American Band books on Bowie, Cash, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan... it was the coolest literary agents office I have ever seen. The agent was a cool guy and I told him I like the Smiths a lot - so he runs to the shelf and whips out "How Soon Is Never?" and started telling me what it's about... Sounded kind of entertaining and I am considering buying it now. Has anyone read this book? I searched it and found no thread - dunno if I did that properly, hence this thread.

I've read it -- it's pretty good indeed. The usual -- this kid's life is changed by music, especially the Smiths. He grows up to become a music journalist who tries to reunite the Smiths, and he gets pretty damn close..


I recommend.
