Review title: A delight
Product review: It should come as no surprise to find that he is good with words. Graham Parker has been delighting his loyal musical fans for decades now with his own brand of integral rock and roll, a style marked by thoughtful, poetic lyrics, deft melodies, and a passionate energy. But in "Carp Fishing on Valium" Parker shows himself to be a fine storyteller too, in a series of endearing and often piercing tales ranging from boyhood escapades in Surrey, in a Huck Finn vein, to deliciously worldly-wise rock-star-on-the-road stories, with some surprisingly poignant twists. Parker's characteristic energy and fine musical ear give his prose an engaging vigor and freshness; and in these stories he shows us not only the tough kid from the south of England, with his dark, sly humor and his combative ethic, but also the vulnerable sides of a complex man, the fears, and doubts, and the touching love for nature, in stories lit at unexpected moments by a furtive, almost involuntary tenderness.
