Each songlike story feels like a breakout hit encapsulating the brokenness and the beauty in life?s soundtrack.\"?Booklist; starred review ?Beautifully woven . . . a magical delight.??Hari Kunzru, author of White Tears A Broken People?s Playlist is set to the soundtrack of life, comprised of twelve music-inspired tales about love, the human condition, micro-moments, and the search for meaning and sometimes, redemption. It is also Chimeka Garricks?s love letter to his native city, Port Harcourt, introducing us to a cast of indelible characters in these loosely interlocked tales. There is the teenage wannabe-DJ eager to play his first gig even as his family disastrously falls apart?who reappears many years later as an unhappy middle-aged man drunk-calling his ex-wife; a man who throws a living funeral for his dying brother; three friends who ponder penis captivus and one?s peculiar erectile dysfunction; a troubled woman who tries to find her peace-place in the world, helped by a headful of songs and a pot of ginger tea. Infused with the author?s resonant and evocative storytelling, each page holds ?the depth of a novel? (Hari Kunzru); a character, a moment that will?like a favorite song?long linger in the heart and mind.","image":"https:\/\/images.thalia.media\/00\/-\/7f907e97d35e4589b5652b9d9bf150b1\/a-broken-people-s-playlist-taschenbuch-chimeka-garricks-englisch.jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/product\/a-broken-peoples-playlist\/","min_price":27.4,"low_price_merchant_id":2294,"deeplink":"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/pclick.php?p=44416999977&a=401125&m=13971&pref1=9780063268197","ean":9780063268197,"brand":"Harper Collins (US)"}
