Why read it?
1 author picked Perfect Sound Whatever as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A beautiful book by one of my favourite comics about one man’s mental breakdown and how music and the people who made it saved him from the worst year of his life. It’s funny and tender and all the music he references was made by people going through their own shit and about how they used their music to save themselves. It’s a book about how we fall apart and how we put ourselves back together and you don’t have to know about music to be moved by it.
From Lucie's list on when having an existential crisis to feel better.
