The Lonely Planet Boy by Barney Hoskyns

The Lonely Planet Boy by Barney Hoskyns

Kip, a lonely provincial boy with a large record collection, comes to London in the early 1980s to enlist as a hack reviewer for a pop weekly - and to fall in love with torch singing vamp Mina. Mina?s cult melange of Goth, Euro-Disco and nihilism becomes the next big thing on both sides of the Atlantic and the besotted Kip?s career soars: while covering Mina?s first US tour, Kip goes into a mental and metaphysical freefall... Barney Hoskyns has written a bittersweet tale of youthful angst which will move anyone who has ever been a pop fan - or had their heart broken.

?Sharp, fast paced and funAnyone who bought a record, went to a gig or tried to flog a review copy in the 80s should read The Lonely Planet Boy? Nick Hornby ?If, like me, you think that life?s too short to read more than one rock?n?roll novel, then you need look no further: this one is as good as they come? Jonathan Coe

Rock historian Barney Hoskyns is the author of nine books and has written about music and pop culture for numerous publications including NME, The Times, Guardian, Vogue and Mojo, of which he was Associate Editor. He lives in London.
