Produktbeschreibung

A grumpy middle-aged man moves house and in the process, brings his old record player back to life after it had lain dormant for many years. While listening to cherished LPs from his youth and concurrently polishing off an entire bottle of good red wine, certain songs and record albums evoke dear recollections of cathartic times past and memorable people known. Meanwhile, comical and frustrating days keep occurring in his current life that often expose a set of very Maltese sensibilities. Part memoir, part contemporary storytelling, all is divulged in twenty-three short stories that are frequently funny, sometimes poignant and always entertaining
