Description: This is the first book on Costello that sets out to avoid chronological presentation, preferring a thematic approach focused on music and words over the nearly thirty years that separate "Radio Sweetheart" and "Country Darkness." In addition to engaging with the songs Costello has performed as a rock musician, this book includes informed discussion of more recent albums such as Painted From Memory, North, and Il Sogno.-back cover.
