\'A classic of its kind.\' William Boyd\'Thought-provoking, hilarious, sardonic and scarily brilliant.\' Scotsman\'A work of dazzling craft.\' Times Literary Supplement\'A memoir in a million.\' Sunday Times** Chosen as a Time Book of the Year ** Don Paterson was born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1963. He spent his boyhood on a council housing estate.When he wasn\'t busy dreading his birthdays, dodging kids who wanted to kill him in a game of toy fights,working with his country-and-western singer dad, obsessing over God, origami, sex or Scottish football cards, he was developing a sugar addiction, playing guitar and descending into madness.While he didn\'t manage to figure out who he was meant to be, the first twenty years of his life - before he took a chance, packed his guitar and boarded a train to London - did, for better or worse, shape who he would become\'A book that swan-dives into the filthy waters of growing up and resurfaces clear-eyed, bearing pearls.\' Financial Times \'Paterson is arguably Scotland\'s finest writer at work today, his sense of the absurd is acutely honed, his wisdom hard-won.\' The National\'Wonderful, aggressively wise and always - especially at its most serious - devastatingly funny.\' Geoff Dyer Σελίδες: 384, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
