Description
Brix Smith Start's extraordinary story is one of constant reinvention and jubilant highs and depressive ebbs. Born into luxury in 1960s Hollywood, her life took her from the cover of NME to waitressing in California, before landing in Manchester's industrial wasteland in the 1980s.
With ten years in The Fall under her belt, Brix's story is much more than rock 'n' roll highs and lows. It's a singular journey of self-discovery, radicalism, and mid-life success on TV and in fashion. This memoir is too bizarre to exist in fiction - it's a true tale that will surprise and captivate.
From the dilapidated pink mansion of her childhood to the tumultuous world of The Fall, Brix Smith Start's story is one of transformation and resilience. Her unflinching account of life on the edge is both shocking and deeply human.
