Graceland: Inspired by the Music of Paul Simon Lance Schonberg

We all have that one album (or two or three or more), discovered in our teenage years that seems to stay with us for life. A single ("Call Me Al") heard on the radio leading to an album purchase (Graceland) leading to body of music that can still be listened to in one go 30+ years later. In this book, you'll find eleven stories, one inspired by each song on Graceland. For some of them, the inspiration is fairly obvious, and for others a little more subtle, but they're in the original track order, so perhaps you'll be able to hear the song in the background as you read each one. Looked at in the right way, they may even all take place in the same universe, separated by decades or centuries.
