THE BUSKER
Book ID/图书代码： 09580014B70987
English Summary/英文概要： Plucked from obscurity in Glasgow, Rab Dillon is about to become the next great protest singer. Seduced by promises of stardom, carrying only the guitar given to him by the girl who broke his heart, he travels down to London. There he records the debut album that will speak to the dispossessed, the disenfranchised and disheartened.
One year later, he is sleeping rough on the streets of Brighton.
A modern-day ballad set across three cities and two years, The Busker is a richly comic exposé of the music industry, the Occupy movement, homelessness, squatting - and failing to live up to the name you (almost) share with your hero. It is also the story of what survives when the flimsy dreams of fame fall apart.

’A disturbing and realistic portrayal of the music industry, homelessness and how life can go horribly wrong. In an age where we are made to believe that talent and/or ruthlessness is all that it takes this book reminds us sharply that no one is owed anything, and no matter how hard you work or how good you are things can still go wrong.’ - We Love This Book
’A novel about homelessness, squatting, falling in and out of love and about what exactly teenagers get up to in the woods behind Hyndland Station on a Friday evening.’ An interview with Liam appeared in - Herald Scotland
