Over dit product

Product Information

Songs Only You Know: A Memoir plunges listeners into the Detroit hardcore punk scene with eighteen-year-old Sean and spans a dark decade during which his father succumbs to crack addiction, his younger sister spirals into a fatal depression, and his sense of home crumbles. Sean's salvation is music, as well as the many eccentrics and outsiders he befriends as front man of a band once referred to by Spin magazine as "an art-core mindfuck." Sean's prose whips from mordantly funny to searingly honest while offering an unflinching look at a family in crisis, low-rent music subculture, and the hard-earned identity of its author. A story of young manhood that deserves a place alongside Tobias Wolff's In Pharaoh's Army and Nick Flynn's Another Bullshit Night in Suck City , Songs Only You Know is a beautiful, devastating exploration of family, friends, and one young man's musical dream. It marks the arrival of a fiercely original literary voice.

I don't know anyone who has described thatterrible yearning for ecstasy and immolation through music as lucidly as SeanMadigan Hoen in Songs Only You Know . Only a thorough initiate of thescene who also had some genius with language could summon the demotic yetelectric voice for the job. If there is ruefulness, now, for the way he treatedhis body, his girlfriends, and his family, he wisely reprises in his book, inneon detail, the fever that once placed him in the same drunken boat with IggyPop, Rimbaud, and Artaud., Sean Hoen has written a wise and moving memoirabout anger, rock music, and the endurance of familial love. For Hoen theultimate redemption is rendering honestly the hard facts of his owntransgression, while never losing track of the beauty and kindness that arealso, thank goodness, ineradicable aspects of human existence., SeanMadigan Hoen offers the best things a writer can offer a reader: the big heart,the big hurts, the big bad news about the impermanence of life's gig., Here's what you get when you mix Nick Flynnwith Karl Ove Knausgaard: a book of almost spooky clarity and relentlesscompassion. I bet when Songs Only You Know gets translated to Norwegianthey'll call it My Struggle ( With Drugs and Rock-n-Roll ). Whichwould kind of get it, and kind of wouldn't. Because it's also universal, andridiculously readable, and Hoen has, in this memoir, brought his life pinnedand wriggling to page, and you can't help but be moved by it, and even findyourself changed., Songs Only YouKnow isa truly moving book, full of pain, longing, strangeness, and even grim comedy,and one of its greatest triumphs is the way Hoen describes a certain creativeintensity--youthful, monstrous, fragile--that is both life-giving and dangerous,especially in troubled times. Maybe everybody has a song, but Hoen sings hiswith fresh phrasing and genuine feeling., Sean Madigan Hoen puts raw need indelibly onthe page--the need for family, for belonging, for alcohol and drugs, and for amusic that will burn all those things away (and if the music fails, try morealcohol and drugs). Hoen's younger self thinks, 'To achieve self-invention, youfirst evacuate the truest parts of yourself,' not quite knowing yet that thesort of evacuation he craves is only ever temporary: the check always comesdue. This moving, often brutal memoir records Hoen's long journey back towardthe truth., Sean Madigan Hoen is not merely an immensely giftedwriter but also a seeker--of redemption, of clarity, of hard family history.There are moments of Songs Only You Know that seem almost too painful tobear--but only almost. What carries the reader through is both the naked beautyof the prose and the deep human certainty that it is always better to face thetruth than to flinch away from it. No flinching here. I admired every page ofit., It's an odd feeling to have, to not want a bookto end when it covers so many miserable and sometimes manic moments in a life,but that's how I felt reading this fantastic, honest, unsentimental, andfinally generous-hearted book., Perceptive, sprawling memoir of a young man's escape from cascading family tragedies into the noise-punk underground...A dark, knowing look at addiction, rock 'n' roll, and the ties that bind., In his rousing debut memoir, punk-rocker Hoen plunges into the chaotic family life that led him to substance abuse and the aggressive musical style that saved him...Astute and intensely self-aware, Hoen writes furious prose with a storyteller's eye for detail...There's no question that Hoen is a gifted, impassioned writer with a deep understanding of longing and pain.
