{"product_id":"this-is-memorial-device","title":"This Is Memorial Device","description":"\"Brilliant stuff. It captures the terrific, obsessive, ludicrous pomposity of every music fans youth in an utterly definitive way.\" Irvine Welsh \"I wanted to live in this book.\" -- Kim Gordon \n\nRoss Raymond and Johnny McLaughlin are two fanboys dedicated to the Airdrie post-punk scene of the early '80s - the glory years - when anything and everything seemed possible. Looking back on that time - the people, the bands, the underground legends - they piece together a story which has at its core Memorial Device, the greatest band you've never heard of. Featuring a cast of misfits, artists, drop-outs, small-town visionaries and musicians, This Is Memorial Device is a dark, witty novel depicting a moment where art and the demands it makes are as serious as life itself.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"New - Paperback","offer_id":32686280278101,"sku":"9780571340170N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9780571340170.jpg?v=1598880686","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/this-is-memorial-device","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
