The Sharper Word by Paolo Hewitt
From the celebrated former NME scribe and biographer of The Small Faces, The Jam and Oasis, comes the reprint of the best-selling anthology of writing on the original cult of Mod. This hugely readable collection documents the clothes, music, clubs, drugs and faces behind one of the most misunderstood cultural movements, including pieces by Tom Wolfe, Tony Parsons, Andrew Motion and Jonathan Aitken among many others. 'An unparalleled view of the world-conquering British youth cult' - The Guardian 'An excellent account' - Loaded, Book of the Month
Hewitt, Paolo: - Paolo Hewitt has been for over thirty years one of the U.K.'s foremost writers on popular music. Cutting his teeth at the NME for seven years in the eighties, he also moonlighted as the 'Cappuccino Kid', whose musings and manifesti adorned the covers of Style Council albums. Paolo has written over twenty books, including Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis, Forever the People: Six Months on the Road with Oasis, Steve Marriott: All Too Beautiful (with John Hellier), and the novel Heaven's Promise (all available from Dean Street Press). Other than music, recurrent themes in his writing include mod culture, football and fashion.
