OLDER FICTION
Brooks, Kevin

Naked '76

(4) YA Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. Lili remembers her seventeenth year playing bass in a band with her boyfriend and falling in love with another bandmate involved with the dangerous Irish Republican Army. The memoir-like narrative uses insider details to bring 1976 London's nascent punk scene to life. Readers looking for an empowering story about a female bass player will be disappointed with the book's shallow (and few) female characters.
