Espedair Street
Espedair Street | Iain Banks
4 posts | 13 read | 2 to read
Daniel Weir used to be a famous - not to say infamous - rock star. Maybe still is. At thirty-one he has been both a brilliant failure and a dull success. He's made a lot of mistakes that have paid off and a lot of smart moves he'll regret forever (however long that turns out to be). Daniel Weir has gone from rags to riches and back, and managed to hold onto them both, though not much else. His friends all seem to be dead, fed up with him or just disgusted - and who can blame them? And now Daniel Weir is all alone. As he contemplates his life, Daniel realises he only has two problems: the past and the future. He knows how bad the past has been. But the future - well, the future is something else.

I had forgotten how much i enjoy iain banks writing so reading this for rdg grp (with daisy Jones) was a joy. Dan Weir songwriter and bassist in a 70s mega band but is back in Glasgow drinking and reflecting on loss and love.Told with comedy and affection for his characters I was immersed in the world and an interesting contrast with DJ. As i slowly work thu his books i realise he is a favourite writer who i didn't appreciate when he was alive.

This is not my original copy, but in fairness, that one had been purchased from a use book shop. It's one of my favourite books and is already fitting in like my favourite jeans. #welllovedbooks #riotgram

Again a big thank you to @DeborahSmall for sending me this copy 💖

DeborahSmall Happy you have the same edition of your favourite book again! ❤️️ 7y
