“I read this book when I was at school. It’s perfect reading for the adolescent young man struggling with his artistic ambitions, domestic mediocrity, the working class environment and not getting your leg over. It read like a documentary of my life up until I left home… I think it is stories like these that root such fancies within the real world that have shown me that it is possible to make our own rich journey through this strangeness that is life.”
