Description
Robyn Hitchcock's memoir 1967 is a sharply written and humorous account of his life, condensed to a single year. This unique approach gives the book an intense, wistful quality, capturing the sweep of time and the author's personal journey. Born just before his 13th birthday, Robyn Hitchcock navigates the challenges of adolescence, from the comfort of his family's au pair, Teresa, to the hierarchical world of his boarding school. As the 1960s counterculture unfolds, Hitchcock finds himself drawn to the music and ideals of the era, forging friendships with fellow outsiders and meeting influential figures like Brian Eno. Through his story, Hitchcock offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1960s England, where the boundaries between music, art, and personal identity blur. With its vivid characters, witty observations, and poignant insights, 1967 is a compelling and engaging read.
