Reviews

"Some of the best writing – funny, strange, spiteful, anguished – we've ever had from an important musician." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times, on the English-language edition

"The book is fantastic - maybe the best about music by a musician that I've read.... The stuff about the collaborations alone - McCartney, Burt Bacharach, Allen Toussaint, the Roots, the Brodsky Quartet  - is riveting." —Nick Hornby, on the English-language edition

"With an encyclopedic knowledge and appreciation for, and deep love of, music, and with an expressive power and heart, Costello's memoir will take its place in the highest echelons of the genre." —Library Journal (starred review), on the English-language edition

"This is a big book, literally, by one of the best rockers in the business. Given the singular, and eclectic, nature of his career, it is no surprise that Elvis Costello's anecdotal autobiography is an idiosyncratic journey through his music and the people and places that have inspired him…A must for Costello fans everywhere." —Booklist (starred review), on the English-language edition
