Hell Is Round the Corner: The Unique No-Holds Barred Autobiography

Author: Tricky

Number of Pages: 352

Tricky is one of the most original music artists to emerge from the UK in the past 30 years. His signature technique – layered, eerie, downtempo hip-hop coupled with deep, questioning lyrics – took the UK by storm in the early 1990s and was part of the sound that defined the post-rave generation. This unique, no-holds barred autobiography is not only a portrait of an incredible artist – it is also a gripping slice of social history packed with hair-raising anecdotes and voices from the margins of society. Tricky examines how his creativity has helped him find a different path to that of his relatives, some of whom w ere bare-knuckle fighters and gangsters, and how his mother’s suicide has had a lifelong effect on him, both creatively and psychologically. From the Bronx to Berlin, via Paris and LA, Tricky has continued to push himself in new directions as a performer. With his unique heritage and experience, his story will be one of the most talked-about music autobiographies of the decade.
