"What Came First, the Music or the Misery?"

"The book is simply true to life. And though the 20 years since its publication have seen the world change, record shop numbers dwindle and music go online, that essential truth is what keeps it relevant. Readers recognise something in Rob Fleming. Whether that's a fear of responsibility, the desire to relive the past, an obsession with ranking things in lists, or the desire to be an aficionado of something (stand up cyclists and foodies, I know you're reading this)."


Jamie Fewery in The Telegraph notes the twentieth anniversary of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity.
