Praise

“Hill’s many notable gifts as a writer include his narrative economy, his honesty and his pin point clarity. This is mordant, touching and — uniquely for a work of autobiography — entirely without vanity.” — Jim Crace

“Utterly rancid. I loved it.” — Stewart Home

“Charlie Hill is the chronicler Birmingham needs. Clear-eyed and sharply written, this a memoir — a set of poetic postcards, really — which offers a kaleidoscope of the past, a history of Charlie and of the city itself.” - Natalie Haynes, novelist, broadcaster and Brummie

“Hilariously written with a breathtaking precision and economy.” - John Doran, The Quietus
