The Nineties Summary

The Nineties: When Surface Was Depth by Michael Bracewell

With this title, Bracewell gives us the first consideration of that still-warm, still-bizarre, still-confused and confusing decade just ended. He talks to and talks about a host of representative nineties figures, some already forgotten, some absolutely emblematic of their times - from Hanson to Neil Hannon, from Tracey Emin to Hussein Chalayan, from the Spice Girls to Sean Hughes. Painstakingly, sometimes painfully, he puts all the pieces together and starts to make sense of it all...

The Nineties Reviews

'Michael Bracewell is nothing less than the poet-laureate of late-capitalism.' Jonathan Coe from the reviews for England is MIne: 'Surely the strangest and most beautiful book on pop music ever written' THE BIG ISSUE 'Bracewell's witty, free-ranging text links artistic visions of England from the Arcadian ideal of Chaucer and Elizabethan literature to the films, youth movements and pop lyrics of today. His prose crackles with dry insight... This is an audaciously ambitious book, yoking together the sublime and the ridiculous with admirable seriousness.' VOX 'Michael Bracewell is terrific [and] ENGLAND IS MINE will enter the bloodstream on its neat turns of phrase.' TIME OUT
