Cold Fiction John Samson

'Cold Fact' by the artist simply known as Rodriguez was one of the world's great lost albums. It is now gaining attention through the documentary 'Searching For Sugarman' which tells the remarkable story of this mysterious singer. 'Cold Fiction' is a book of 12 short stories, each inspired by the 12 tracks on Rodriguez' album. The stories are not a re-telling the songs, but rather they take inspiration from a line or lines in the lyrics, the title of the song, and in one case from a rumour that sprung up in South Africa about Rodriguez' death. Warning: This book does contain some adult themes and is not suitable for young people.
