Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink

By: Elvis Costello

Narrated by: Elvis Costello

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink, written and read by Elvis Costello.

In a career spanning four decades, Elvis Costello (born Declan MacManus) has made himself a huge reputation through his tunes, lyrics and occasional bad behaviour. Now, for the first time, he is telling his story.

From miming on Top of the Pops to becoming one of the industry's elder statesmen, Costello's memoir - which he has written himself and will promote assiduously - is a one-man history of British music.

A warm, deep and surprisingly funny insight into an amazing life, it is rich with anecdotes about family, musicians and the creation of his famous songs.

Evocative, melancholy and uplifting.

Evocative, melancholy and uplifting. Brilliantly written as you would expect. The narrative jumps around rather than being a case of this happened then that then that. You will want to have a streaming service handy to explore the hundreds of musical references that come up, both by Costello and the many other figures from the book.
