‘In The Bookshop’ is a podcast about books, usually recorded in an actual bookshop - George Street Community Bookshop - in Glossop, Derbyshire, UK. However, at the moment we are recording remotely and observing very safe social distancing, but the premise remains the same - we invite guests onto the podcast to talk about some of their favourite books with shop manager Steve Roberts.
In this episode, our guest is singer-songwriter Vinny Peculiar (aka Alan Wilkes). Vinny has released twelve albums of literate autobiographical pop music over a twenty-year career and has played in our hometown of Glossop many times. His latest album, While You Still Can, was released earlier in 2020. Find out more about Vinny here: https://vinnypeculiar.com/
The books discussed are:
Billy Liar - Keith Waterhouse
The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster - Richard Brautigan
Revolt Into Style - George Melly
Great Apes - Will Self
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Roominghouse Madrigals - Charles Bukowski
