ROCK & ROLL (part 2)
WARNING: There are a lot of thumbnails on this page -
it may take a while to load fully
All novels about pop music are exploitation novels. There's no way round this. The world of rock is so absurd and so rooted in cliche that it will never be an appropriate setting for a 'proper' novel. And it's so extreme that parody is a waste of time.
