Description
Carl Howell's life was marked by contradictions - brilliant singer, loved son, hated rival, and meal ticket. His passing left his friends to navigate their complicated relationships with him. Chinaski explores the music industry, its fans, and the world of vampires, asking what we can really know about our icons. Set against the backdrop of late 80s/early 90s youth subculture, Chinaski charts the rise of an indie band destined for fame. The story is told from multiple perspectives - the girlfriend, the band member, and a music journalist - offering a realistic account of the seamier side of the industry. Frances Vick's first novel draws on her own experiences working in various roles, including security work, teaching English abroad, and working with young offenders.
