Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster

A candid, funny and unexpectedly moving memoir in which a stand-up comedian recounts a chaotic period of his life and how he attempted to make sense of it by obsessively collecting and curating music—creating an imagined set of albums that could right a year gone wrong. Mixing comic anecdotes about tours and the comedy circuit with raw confessions about heartbreak, anxiety and professional setbacks, the book examines how songs and record-hunting can order memory, soothe grief and offer a strange, consoling kind of recovery.
