D. J. Taylor on Rock and Roll is Life: A Novel at the Oldie Literary Lunch

Episode 1,   Aug 07, 2018, 07:24 AM

'Rock and Roll is Life' is a vastly entertaining, picaresque and touching novel inspired by the excess and trajectories of the great '60s and '70s supergroups, and of the tales brought back from the front line by a very special breed of Englishmen who made it big in the States as the alchemists and enablers, as well as the old making way for the new in the era of the baby boomers. At its heart is one man's adventure, and the poignancy of the special relationships that dominate his life.

This talk was recorded at an Oldie Literary Lunch as part of Buxton International Festival on July 7th 2018.
