NEW HAVEN PUBLISHING
The latest in an emerging trend for books based on the tracklisting of compilation albums, Fiona McQuarrie’s Mixtape, as the title suggests, takes the author’s personal selection of songs from a formative, character-building decade of her life and tells their story. Selected from between 1975 and 1985, a decade in which disco, punk, newwave, synth-pop and yacht rock thrived, Mixtape attempts to cover all bases – a premise which has its positive aspects and drawbacks.
