“That spring, as if by agreement, we got it into our heads that something should finally happen, something should change.”A selection taken from the memoirs of a youth spent growing up in a small town - its fascinations with fads, fashions, slang and bands; its successful/disastrous explorations of personal style and taste; what''s cool, what''s not cool; all pitched at the question and at times painful process of working out who we are in the world.
