Katherine Ryan's The Audacity came out this week and it's the perfect guide to living your best life.The Party Crasher review: Sophie Kinsella's latest novel is ideal for reading in public.It moves on to an affectionate and mostly sanitised version of the underground punk scene where a young Grohl learns to embrace his individuality and finds his tribe. The structure of The Storyteller is resolutely non-linear, which works well except for a weird and slightly distracting use of a font to emphasise things in a way that feels oddly jarring.Įarly chapters cover his childhood, including his first foray into playing live when his mum asks him to jam as a drummer at a jazz club they go to on her birthday as a gift and he gets bitten by a bug that completely changes the course of his life. Just when you think rock legend and professional overachiever Dave Grohl can't excel at anything else, he casually bashes out an autobiography just in time to top music-lovers' Christmas lists everywhere.įorget trying to summon up the energy to work out with Joe Wicks, learning to bake banana bread or binge watching Tiger King like the rest of us, when arguably the most prolific man in music got a bit twitchy about the unexpected down time of Covid he decided to knock out The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music - almost 400 pages about his life so far.Īnd, as you'd expect from 'that guy from Nirvana' who defied all expectation to become a two-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame it's incredibly readable and a lot of fun.
