A delightfully funny, gritty and revealing story of how a painfully shy working-class boy made it from a provincial backwater to the top of the music charts all over the world.
Written with originality, wit and intelligence which marked Joe Jackson out as one of the most striking song-writers of the New Wave era, 'A Cure for Gravity' is also an honest, passionate, reflective book about music itself, the creative process and the coming of age of an artist. It demonstrates why Joe Jackson remains one of the most respected and influential recording artists of his generation.
