FINALIST FOR THE BEST BOOK AWARD FOR NEW NON-FICTION
A boy's enchanted childhood in a coastal town on the Isle of Man - one of rabbit hunts, darkened church naves and lessons in ancient Viking heritage - is about to disappear forever.
Boyhood dreams of football fame are ditched for drinking pints with the lads at the local pool hall; just the beginning of a descent into wretched self-destruction, smoking crack with homeless friends under London's bridges, a volatile cocktail of drugs, bodybuilding and steroid use colliding with disastrous consequences.
Anything and everything will eventually be employed to quell an insatiable appetite for self-loathing and denial.
After leaving his beloved Isle of Man, Michael is squandering his life in a grim apartment on the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand.
A chance encounter with a supermodel will sweep him away to the sheer luxury of California; a stroke of good fortune that Michael promptly sets out to destroy with one sordid escapade after another across the Mexican border.
Tragedy and comedy combine in this irresistible memoir, the destruction caused by drugs and alcohol outdone only by one man's irrepressible will to live.
