This extraordinary book has its genesis in a series of concerts first staged in 2004. Over four nights Paul Kelly performed, in alphabetical order, one hundred of his songs from the previous three decades. In between songs he told stories about them, and from those little tales grew How to Make Gravy, a memoir like no other.

Not a page turner - but it's not trying to be one. The insights of a craftsman and musician are peppered through the book. You have to do a bit of work to find them, but that's fair I reckon.
