The legendary Eric's club is home to the city's rebels, posers and misfits. It's a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story traces Penny's relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you don't know you're autistic?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAtypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing encounters with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Echo \u0026amp; The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Paul McCartney, The Cramps, Jonathan Richman, Tracey Thorn and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polygon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846976919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304","brand":"Penny Kiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537458032821,"sku":"9781846976919","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0e908828-e147-4584-83f8-29fa301f7e64.jpg?v=1779169642","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/atypical-girl-punk-rock-liverpool-and-trying-to-be-normal-9781846976919","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
