Welcome to the latest volume in the series that celebrates the year's best writing about music and its culture, as edited by Nick Hornby, the creator of the most famously music-obsessed hero in contemporary fiction. Hornby has selected pieces on a dazzling array of topics from more than a hundred sources--remarkable essays by journalists and authors who are as serious about writing as they are about music. Featuring the smartest, edgiest, richest, funniest, and just plain best work of the year, it's required reading for anyone who loves either art.
