an odd boy - volume one - gwales.com

"A memoire of an eccentric aficionado of Bach and Blues, poetry and painting. A portrait of the artist as a lad, set in the experimental cultural ferment of the late 1960s. It is a coming-of-age adventure"

"One of the more interesting unconventionalities of this text is the author's integration of song lyrics into the narrative, which complements the narrative text and adds a certain surrealism to the story. It reads as if the art that was going on around the writer was in fact an actual part of his life. If the reader is someone who has ever had suspicion of the popular culture around them, this reader will definitely find the narrator an empathic character. I highly recommend it."
