revsqueeze 's review for:
Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink
by Elvis Costello
My experience is of the audio version of this book, read by the author. Every review that I have read about this book states that it is too long, too rambling, too unedited ... and that may be true if you’re expecting an organized and formal memoir. But as an audiobook, I found it to be delightful. I was fascinated by his anecdotes, loved his turn of phrase in his own voice, loved to hear stories about some of the giants he has worked with. Yes, I guess I would agree that it’s not a great book and yet I really loved it.
And though I probably won’t read it all again, I plan to revisit the section about the end of his father’s life. As a hospice chaplain, whose own father has recently died, I found his tribute to his imperfect but loving father to be so real, so raw, and so full of love.
