The Train in the Night: A Story of Music and Loss

Nick Coleman

Shortlisted for the 2012 Wellcome Trust Book Prize. A profoundly moving account of one man’s struggle to recover from the loss of his greatest passion in life - and a hymn to music.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2012 WELLCOME TRUST BOOK PRIZE

How do you lose music? Then having lost it, what do you do next? Nick Coleman found out the morning he woke up to a world changed forever by Sudden Neursosensory Hearing Loss.

The Train in the Night is an account of one man’s struggle to recover from the loss of his greatest passion - and go one further than that- to restore his ability not only to hear but to think about and feel music, by going back to the series of big bangs which kicked off his musical universe.

The result a memoir not quite like any other. It is about growing up, about taste and love and suffering and delusion and longing to be Keith Richards. It is funny, heartbreaking and, above all, true.
