Book | Entertainment

iOS

This is more than an app – it’s an experience, a special opportunity to connect with brilliant singer/songwriter, Paul Kelly. Read Paul’s critically acclaimed new memoir, How to Make Gravy, while simultaneously listening to his music.

The How to Make Gravy app brings to life the words, music and magic of one of Australia’s best loved singer/songwriters. Mirroring the unique structure of his memoir, this app will not only let you read the unabridged ebook of How to Make Gravy, it will also consult your iPod library, so you can listen to any versions of songs you might already have.

The first six songs referred to in the book are included to get you started. The app also contains a very personal video introduction by the iconic entertainer.

The physical book version of How To Make Gravy 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.

“Funny, moving, entertaining and perilously easy to read,” said the Sunday Telegraph.

The writing is insightful, funny, honest, compassionate, intelligent, playful, erudite, warm and thought provoking. “Every line is an enlightening treat,” wrote Robert Messenger, Canberra Times.
