‘This is a terrific read imbued with chaos and nihilism, brilliant insights into the lives of Iggy, Bowie, Keith Richards and Lester Bangs, and a lesser-heard take on the cynical, bully-boy tactics of punk - something Kent suffered at the hands of. And if his hazy memory bends the truth at any stage, it only enhances the dark, dangerous picture he paints.’---Chris Parkin, Time Out
‘As with Hunter S Thompson, Nik Cohn and Lester Bangs before him, there exists around Kent an almost mythic glow. Degenerate poseur, celebrity drug addict and genius wordsmith, he is a man who has lived rock’n’roll to the full. ... Now, finally, Kent has written a memoir, Apathy for the Devil, an extraordinary recollection of his own Seventies. ... Fifteen years ago Kent published The Dark Stuff, a collection of his finest music journalism, a book to rank alongside Greil Marcus’ Mystery Train, Nik Cohn’s Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom and Jon Savage’s England’s Dreaming; Apathy for the Devil might even be better than that.’---GQ
‘The book is a blast for every boy and girl who dreamed of being part of the great bacchanalia.’--- Aidan Smith, Interview in the Scotsman
‘His memory bank of stories is a mile deep. … The book is worth getting just for the sections about Lou Reed … Kent’s storytelling gifts are considerable and enviable … and if Apathy for the Devil falls short as a literary summation of music in the 1970s, it works tremendously well on most other levels.’---Jonathan O’Brien, Sunday Business Post http://www.thepost.ie/story/text/eyqlojgboj/
‘A hair-raising and fascinating read. Told with humility and through the wise old eyes of experience, it’s a rollicking good rock-read to boot!’---Bryan Shore, onemetal.com http://www.onemetal.com/2010/02/10/apathy-for-the-devil-nick-kent/
‘While it adds some backstory to his classic interviews, it’s also a “my-drug-hell” tale dispensed with a bleak wit and brutal candour. Sometimes the anecdotes seem too good to be true. … Full of fabulous rock tittle-tattle but also some uncomfortable home truths, this is a book for anyone that’s ever read a music magazine from cover to cover but still wanted to know more.’---Mark Blake, Q Magazine ****
‘Kent tackles his autobiography, as he does his music writing, throwing himself headlong into it and re-experiencing every minute. … The magnetic open-heartedness that drew his subjects close lies at the centre of this work, drawing the reader closer too.’---Lois Wilson, Mojo ****
‘a tome filled with (Kent’s) untold stories, thousands of them, every one of which a mortal man could dine out on for the rest of his days. But Kent just keeps going, often donating only a single sentence to life-shattering events. It makes his book not just a biography but a thriller; a high-octane chase through a decade’s musical history.’---Sam Wolfson, NME
‘If Faber’s contribution last year to the canon of rock journalism was Jon Savage’s The England’s Dreaming Tapes, then they have surpassed themselves this year with Apathy for the Devil.’---Dylan Jones, The Independent
‘Nick Kent’s wonderfully entertaining Seventies memoir Apathy for the Devil.’---DJ Taylor, The Independent
