Good Pop, Bad Pop

After years of postponement, Jarvis Cocker finally sets out to sort through the cluttered attic of his London home, deciding what to toss and what to keep. The result is Good Pop, Bad Pop — a heartfelt, sharp, and hilarious inventory of a life lived in music and creativity. Using personal objects as narrative anchors, Cocker reflects on his journey from a shy, eccentric teenager — who once filled notebooks with designs for the wardrobe of his future band, Pulp — to an artist who would shape the sound and style of a generation. More than a memoir, this is a celebration of creativity, and of pop music and culture as some of the most powerful forces of contemporary life. Named Book of the Year by The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, and The Daily Telegraph.
