The Boy with the Perpetual Nervousness: A Memoir [Audiobook] by Graham Caveney
English | July 3rd, 2018 | ISBN: 1684413745 | MP3@64 kbps | 9 hrs 9 mins | 252.29 MB
Narrator: Jonathan Cowley

Raised in a small town in the north of England known primarily for its cotton mills, football team, and its deep roots in the "Respectable Working Class," Graham Caveney armed himself against the confusing nature of adolescence with a thick accent, a copy of Kafka, and a record collection including the likes of the Buzzcocks and Joy Division. All three provided him the opportunity to escape, even if just in mind, beyond his small-town borders. But, when those passions are noticed and preyed upon by a mentor, everything changes.

Now, as an adult, Caveney attempts to reconcile his past and present, coming to grips with both the challenges and wonder of adolescence, music, and literature. By turns angry, despairing, beautifully written, shockingly funny, and ultimately redemptive, The Boy with Perpetual Nervousness is a tribute to the power of the arts - and a startling, original memoir that "feels as if it had to be written, and demands to be read" (the Guardian UK).

Contains mature themes.
