Songs Only You Know: a Memoir
Sean Madigan Hoen
[Read by Tristan Morris]
A story of young manhood that deserves a place alongside Tobias Wolff's In Pharaoh's Army and Nick Flynn's Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, Songs Only You Know is a beautiful, devastating exploration of family, friends, and one young man's musical dream. It marks the arrival of a fiercely original literary voice. Songs Only You Know: A Memoir plunges listeners into the Detroit hardcore punk scene with eighteenyearold Sean and spans a dark decade during which his father succumbs to crack addiction, his younger sister spirals into a fatal depression, and his sense of home crumbles. Sean's salvation is music, as well as the many eccentrics and outsiders he befriends as front man of a band once referred to by Spin magazine as ''an artcore mindfuck.'' Sean's prose whips from mordantly funny to searingly honest while offering an unflinching look at a family in crisis, lowrent music subculture, and the hardearned identity of its author.
