For Sale

SIGNED / AUTOGRAPHED BY THE AUTHOR - Price inside dustcover: $22.95 - Will is thirty-six and doesn't really want children. Why does it bother people that he lives so happily alone in a fashionable, Lego-free flat, with massive speakers and a mammoth record collection, hardwood floors, and an expensive cream-colored rug that no kid has ever thrown up on? Then Will meets Angie. He's never been out with anyone who was a mom. And it has to be said that Angie's long blond hair and big blue eyes are not irrelevant to Will's reassessment of his attitude toward children. Then it dawns on Will that maybe Angie goes out with him because of the children. That maybe children democratize beautiful, single women. That single mothers -- bright, attractive, available women - were all over London ... Marcus is twelve and he knows he's weird. It was all his mother's fault, Marcus figured. She was the one who made him listen to Joni Mitchell instead of Nirvana, and read books instead of play on his Gameboy. Then Marcus meets Will. Will belongs to his mother's SPAT group (Single Parents, Alone Together), and Will is cool. Marcus needs someone who knows what kind of sneakers he should wear, and who Kurt Cobain is. And Marcus's mother needs a husband. They could all move in together! Marcus and his mother, Will and his son, Ned. Then Marcus follows Will home to his flat, where there are no toys or diapers, no second bedroom, even -- and certainly no Ned. This was valuable stuff. If Marcus went home and told his mother about this right away, that would be the end of it. But something tells Marcus that he should hang on to this information until he knows what it's worth.

Musiken finns hela tiden närvarande i allt vad Nick Hornby skriver. I sin nya bok har han tagit steget fullt ut och formulerar personliga och humoristiska betraktelser över låtar som har betytt mycket för honom genom åren. Det är Springsteen, Dylan, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Aimee Mann, Teenage Fanclub, Patti Smith, Van Morrison och Jackson Browne. Men också Nelly Furtado, Soulwax, Ben Folds Five, Rufus Wainwright och Röyksopp. Hornbys smak är förhållandevis bred och spänner över rock, pop, soul, blues, rhythm & blues, reggae, punk, hiphop, country, ja, you name it.
