He couldn't play an instrument; Charlie Chaplin was his hero du jour. And yet, when Robert Forster wrote Hemingway, Genet, Chandler and Joyce into his lyrics, McLennan couldn't resist a second invitation to become 80s indie sensation The Go Betweens. The friends would collaborate for three decades, until Grant's premature death in 2006. Beautifully written - like lyrics, like prose - Grant \u0026amp; I is a rock memoir akin to no other. Part `making of', part music industry expose, part buddy-book, this is a delicate and perceptive celebration of creative endeavour. With wit and candour, Robert Forster pays tribute to a band who found huge success in the margins, having friendship at its heart.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 352 pages | Published March 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omnibus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63956778221917,"sku":"9781785589683","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781785589683.jpg?v=1774263729","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/grant-i-inside-and-outside-the-go-betweens","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
