Description
Damian Barr's memoir of surviving the tough streets of small town Scotland during the Margaret Thatcher years is a unique and tender tale. In 1984, eight-year-old Damian watched in horror as his mother ripped off her wedding ring and packed their bags after an IRA bomb blew apart the Grand Hotel in Brighton. As he navigated the dark and divided community, Damian found solace in stories and discovered that they could save his life. He worked hard, fell in love dancing to Madonna in Glasgow's only gay club, and learned to survive amidst violence, strikes, and AIDS. This memoir is a touching and darkly witty account of growing up gay in a straight world and coming out the other side. With its blend of humor and sorrow, Maggie & Me offers a powerful and deeply personal story of survival and resilience.
