One Hit Wonderland by Tony Hawks
Over eighteen months, the author battles against all the odds to have a hit. He changes act and styles with a bewildering lack of integrity. He travels to Nashville, the song writing capital of the universe. Amidst all the uncertainty only one thing is clear. If anyone is optimistic and determined enough to pull this off, it is himself.
The author of the international bestsellers Round Ireland With a Fridge and Playing the Moldovans at Tennis scores again with his attempt to repeat his 1988 pop music successThis new adventure takes him around the world in a search for an elusive follow-up hit from the Nashville studios to Amsterdam coffee bars; from the plains of Sudan to the wilds of Tasmania. But will his song You Broke My Heart Like a Bird's Egg [But Now the Yolk's On You] ever be a hit anywhere ?
Tony is a writer and comedian making regular contributions to TV (Have I Got News For You, If I Ruled The World) and on radio (Just A Minute, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue). In 2001 he hosted the National Book Awards for the first time. He managed to slip in some very risque jokes.
