Invisible man by Ralph Ellison (1952)

Lots of literary styles. America’s first post-modernist novel. The journey of a black American man - from poverty and college to jazz and riots.

John Peel

I’m still throwing away bits of newspapers etc - just looking back at The Guardian newspaper - October 27 2004 - it includes John Peel’s obituary.

I was at Peel’s funeral for the BBC - I think I must have one of the only audio recordings of Gambaccini’s tribute to Peel (the Cathedral staff disconnected the feed cables, if I remember rightly)

I’ll have to dig my CD out - but in his tribute I’m sure Gambaccini said that Peel had probably listened to more recorded music than anyone alive, ever. A sad day - I’m not saying anything new here - but Peel really was a light in the darkness.

The diving bell and the butterfly

Film looks good.

Real life: He died in 1997 - days after his book was published.
