Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when his family emigrated from Pakistan to join his father in Bury Park, Luton. His teenage years were a constant battle to reconcile being both British and Muslim. But when his best friend introduced him to Bruce Springsteen, his life changed for ever. In this affectionate and timely memoir, Manzoor retraces his journey from the frustrations of his childhood to his reaction to the tragedies of 9/11 and 7/7.Original, darkly tender and wryly amusing, this is an inspiring tribute to the power of music to transcend race and religion and a moving account of a relationship between father and sonPreviously published as 'Greetings from Bury Park'

Recenzii

Every detail rings so true... Manzoor'swarm, humane, unsensational voice ... makes you want to extend the hand of friendship to him
Abeautiful and absorbing love letterto his family, his culture andhis hero Bruce Springsteen
A small wonder- like some melancholy refit of Hanif Kureishi'sThe Buddha of Suburbia, where boredom replaces bohemia andreal life is something only glimpsed in a Bruce Springsteen lyric
Like Blake Morrison'sAnd When Did You Last See Your Father?... it's about trying to make sense of the rubble left behind by a father's death... Arichly humane, smile-inducingmemoir
While the book is many things - the impact of multi-culturalism, a coming-of-age story and aNick Hornby-styledocumentation of musical obsession -it is Manzoor's relationship with his father that lies at its heart
Beautiful and moving... A book to make you believe that we are all more alike than we know
