Description
Stuart, A Life Backwards is a remarkable story of friendship and transformation, told with humour, compassion, and exasperation. The author's confessional narrative is intertwined with the tale of a chaotic, knife-wielding beggar, whom he meets during a campaign to release charity workers from prison.
As the author slowly works his way back through the events of his life, he reveals the reasons behind his transformation from a happy-go-lucky young boy to a polydrug-addicted-alcoholic. With surprising candour, he recounts his struggles with addiction and the events that led him to develop a fondness for knives.
This is a funny, despairing, and brilliantly written biography that is full of surprises. It is a moving and original account of one man's journey towards self-discovery and redemption.
