{"product_id":"a-life-in-books-michael-george-smith-9780648380436","title":"A Life In Books: A selection of short stories, prose pieces \u0026 essays (an accidental memoir of sorts)","description":"So, the plan was, once the band kicked off and we were touring the nation, to write short stories through the day and gig at night, making records every chance I could. Of course it didn't work out that way. Sure, bands came and went, some more records were made, but the short stories proved a problem. I needed to make a living. Enter music journalism. That led to the evolving series of books on Australia's rock and pop history under the banner, \u003ci\u003eWhat's Been Did (And What's Been Hid)\u003c\/i\u003e. But the need to express myself creatively and intellectually meant there was a lot of other writing bubbling out. The best bits are gathered here in \u003ci\u003eA Life In Books\u003c\/i\u003e, which, as I began compiling it, turned out to be a bit of an autobiographical memoir as well. Hopefully you'll find something in this slim volume that resonates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael George Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648380432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648380436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupert Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Michael George Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799389483263,"sku":"9780648380436","price":17.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-in-books-michael-george-smith-9780648380436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
