The Importance of Music to Girls by Lavinia Greenlaw

The Importance of Music to Girls by Lavinia Greenlaw

The Importance of Music to Girls tells the story of the adventures that music leads us into - getting drunk, falling in love, cutting our hair, wanting to change the world - as well as the darker side of the adolescent years: loneliness, bullying, getting arrested. Lavinia Greenlaw remembers the music that inspired and accompanied her, and compelled her generation. From fancying Donny Osmond, to wanting to be Ian Curtis, this is a razor-sharp memoir, filtered through the medium of music.

Lavinia Greenlaw was born in 1962. Night Photograph (1993) was shortlisted for both the Forward Prize for First Collection and the Whitbread Poetry Prize; A World Where News Travelled Slowly (1997) was her award-winning second collection and most recently she published Minsk (2003) which was shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Prize, the Forward Prize for Best Collection and the T. S. Eliot Prize. Her novel, Mary George of Allnorthover (Flamingo), was published in 2001. She lives in London and works as a freelance writer, critic and broadcaster.
