![]() ![]() ![]() One, Legs McNeil, is the man some credit with giving punk music its name in the first place, when he christened Punk magazine in 1975. Perhaps the book’s mix of iconoclasm and literary ambition makes sense considering it was co-authored by two writers with very different backgrounds, but a surprising like-mindedness. It took nonfiction back to its primal urges. Finally, here was a book about punk that reflected the actual spirit of the movement by representing its subjects’ words as directly as possible, with a minimum of filters or interference from the authors. With its modernization of the oral history tradition-telling its 424-page story entirely in a string of quotes that form a solid, winding narrative-it’s practically impossible to overstate the degree to which Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk revolutionized both the book industry and the way we think about storytelling when it was published in 1996.ĭespite its gritty, grimy subject matter (or, more accurately, because of it), Please Kill Me was sublimely elegant in the way it matched form to content. In much the same way that punk was a musical revolution, the definitive book about punk was a literary one. PUNKING THE INDUSTRY: ‘Please Kill Me’ was the bestselling book ever about punk music, and opened the floodgates for hundreds of oral histories done in the same style. ![]() ![]() ![]() Having been raised under the mantra "follow your dreams" and being told they were special, they tend to be confident and tolerant of difference.

Read more wrote the Saturday Review, and the Daily Telegraph said '. 'The word Forsterian is already demanded'. The story of two sisters - Margaret and Helen Schlegel - and their different paths in life was hailed by the critics as Forster's greatest work when it was first published in 1910. In Howards End Forster voiced many of his apprehensions about the future, and the novel has become more relevant than ever as a statement of humane, civilised values, while its subtle characterisation, its blend of irony and lyricism, its humour and its wealth of unobtrusive symbols, make it one of the great English novels.
