SHIPPING OFFERED
'Porcelain' - A Memoir by Moby in good condition. It's a First Edition as per photo 3.
The blurb:- From one of the most interesting and iconic musicians of our time, a piercingly tender, funny and harrowing acount of the path from suburban poverty and alienation to a life of beauty, squalor and unlikely success out of the New York City club scene of the late 1980s and '90s.
There were many reasons Moby was never going to make it as a DJ and musician... But it was perhaps the last good time for an artist to live on nothing in New York City... And so by the end of the decade, Moby contempleted the end of things, in his career and elsewhere in his life, and he put that emotion into what he assumed would be his swan song, his goodbye to all that, the album that would be in fact the beginning of an astonishing new phase in his life, the multimillion-selling 'Play' [which I have listed separately at present].
'Porcelain' is about making it, losing it, loving it, and hating it. It's about finding your people, and your place, thinking you've lost them both, and then, finally, somehow, creating something sublime. As a portrait of a young artist, 'Porcelain' is a masterpiece in its own right, fit for the short shelf of musicians' memoirs that capture not just a scene but an age and something timeless about the human condition. Push play.
Contents pages are shown in photos 4 - 7 [can be enlarged to make easier to read]. And there are the obligatory photo sections too as per photos 9 & 10.
