Reviews

Extraordinary. Very funny.
The Guardian
Brilliant. Hypnotic and highly entertaining.
Daily Telegraph
The memoir of Jarvis Cocker, frontman of the legendary British band Pulp, whose music made millions dance. An indisputable testimony — not only to a unique life and band, but also to 20th-century pop culture and the power of music.
El Mundo
Jarvis Cocker decide finalmente a revisar los objetos personales que conserva amontonados en un desván londinense, para decidir cuáles debe tirar y cuáles conservar. El resultado de dicho inventario es Pop bueno, pop malo, un entrañable, lúcido y muy divertido relato de una de las trayectorias musicales y artísticas más importantes de las últimas décadas.
El País
The key to a pop star’s survival lies not only in sustained output, but also in dignity. Mother, Brother, Lover is essential reading — an intimate glimpse into the life and mind of a man who has always written from a place of truth.
